I'd love to know how this one was done. While there are "artistic" improvements that could be made, (lighting etc.) I think that this picture should have scored higher in the challenge.
This deserves top marks just for the image that it shows. I've always wanted to experiment with popping balloons and this makes me want to do it more. It's an amazing capture so I suppose you breathed smoke into the balloon (which is what I wanted to try too).
It does however suffer from very poor lighting - killer flash that has removed any artistic vibe in the shot - and dull subject matter (no offence to your female subject). Given the odd nature of the motion stoppage it doesn't do it justice to depict it in a the form of a snapshot.
Whoa - nice timing. I like the choice of a blue balloon with the blue blouse. Not sure the closed eyes of the model work well, but I can sure understand why she closed them.
Great idea! Very original. How many ballons did she have to pop for you to get the shot? I would have framed this differently though, with the balloon and knife-wielding arm filling the frame.
