Greetings from the Critique Club!
Damn wind, how dare it blow those balloons horizontal - but glad to see it exceeded your expectations, 6.4 is a nice score on which to finish. I was one of your 8s and proudly so.
Hard to nitpick an image like this, but I'll try :-) I would personally have gone for either a more vertical or square crop, I think horizontal limits too much here, you need some visual room for the balloons to rise into. The ambient lighting and is fine for a shot like this, but I might have cranked up the ISO to 200 or more and used f5 or f5.6, as wide open is rarely a lens' best aperture. A lower POV could have helped too, to accentuate his being carried away as here I feel like I'm looking down at them a bit.
Otherwise, very nice shot and good work, keep shooting and entering!
Feel free to PM me,
Susan |

| Respectable score in a free study sir. It climbed nicely and glad to see it in well above the 6.0 mark. Way to go... what's next... the mountains? February we would have to come up with another made shot unless we both get what we are planning.. :) 21 more days to do so. |

| Ha! Great take Stephen. Pity about the wind. Love the white takkies. Was she wearing black Nike's? Crisp and clean and fun. |

That's very cute, well staged and well captured.
My only remark would be that it could have worked better if the balloons were ascending rather than pulling sideways. |

| a great idea - i just wish the balloons were 'up' rather than to the side - it would sell the shot better.... |

| Very funny, great image and processing. Could've only been improved by the balloons being upright, but we can't control everything now can we ;) great shot. If this is a real wedding couple, I can imagine they'd love this image! |
