 I took the kids to the park, and I noticed these caught in a tree. Seemed like a good choice for this challenge, so here you go. I removed the color from the background and saturated the blue in the balloons to make them "pop" out a bit more in the shot. Other than that, I simply cropped and re-sized for the web. Enjoy!

I like the blue on gray background. The crop with such a busy background can be a tricky task, but you seemed to have done a good job! Part of me wishes for a bit of a looser crop, but cant say how it would look without having the full picture. All in all, I like it!

Ahh, I know that dull grey sky all too well. These balloons work great for the challenge. Good eye and timing to have captured this one!

Nice capture. The selective desaturation works well to answer the challenge.
