crop, lighten, border, text, resize. I wanted to capture the bright colors of the balloon and show off our Colorado Sky! All critique is appreciated. Thank you.
Here's what I would do now:

Beautiful... I like the composition and the colors.. I am not a big fan of this font, but again, i dont posess the capability to choose the best font. So I better dont comment on font. :) Overall, a very interesting shot.
Everything I would say abou this entry you already figured outfor yourself and are showing off in your 'what I would do know' shot. Only commentary I would add would be look for a font that delivers the message with authority. Forum experts aside, fonts such as Times New Roman are not the tools of designers who lack creativity - they have a look to them that adds a feeling of authority and impact to the message they deliver.
The photo itself here is quite beautiful. Could consider centering it in the frame or cropping wider a bit so you can push it up a bit more into the right corner.
The photograph is absolutely perfect. Excellent light, depth, color saturation, focus - everything! Your re-do with the text works very well. Definitely something you can print and hang and have it look very, very professional.
