I really dig this photo..good work

good idea and lovely colours, just wish it had a little more DOF

thank you both very much and friiskiwi i too wanted it but was not able to do it as i had less # of pens

Very nice, but the focus is a little soft

best for movie poster....

Natural sepia!

I quite like this one, a bit over processed, which is probably the reason for the noise. Lovely colours.

More natural and the colours are still stunning.

Too much negative space, especially on the left.

Well, I wanted to let that much dark background to emphasize the balloons

To much processing, IMO, makes it look like a drawing.

There is no processing... There were lights inside the balloons and the sky was black as it was at night.

Thanks, you have certainly got plenty of colour.
