Took Evelyne's advice and added a bit more contrast. Thank you, Evelyne.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
A good capture but i think that a little bit more contrast would make a very graphic & vivid coolors picture

@Evelyne Dubos: You are absolutely right, and I took your advice. Just a little more contrast! Thanks.

Betty, this shot is amazing, and BAM! The added contrast definitely kicks it up a notch or two. It's a really great photo; the balloon in the background distance makes the whole composition perfect.

Anita from West Nottingham, United States
This photo looks really good! The contrast is just right. I laughed out loud when I first saw this photo of the elephant balloon! Shooting it near a smaller (and more distant) balloon does a great job of emphasizing its size. Good job.
