 I really wanted to do this shoot again, but was unable to borrow my little cousin again. If I were to do it again, I would have all light colored balloons like the yellow one so you could see a bit of color still. I wish I could have cropped out the girl on the right since I didn't love her pose, but the ribbon would have been in the picture still, so I decided to keep her in.

My editing was really quite simple:
Bumped up the contrast
Enhanced the black
Messed with hue/saturation
Curves
Cloned out some sensor dust
Converted from Raw
Cropped and resized for web
