Is this too saturated?

[fofazoju]

I would like to know if you think this is TOO much color? I often do more muted but thought with the red balloon and the golden wheat, it may work better more saturated - not sure if too much though.

Or any other general thoughts on the photo? Is the vignetting too much?

exif:

f:5.6
shutter: 1/1,600
Focal length:92

Thanks!

Nice shot! If you could tone down just the wheat some I think it would be an improvement. I think also a portrait crop might be the way to go here, starting the crop just above the platform he's standing on. That's my take but I still like the shot.

First of all I would like to tell you that I like the shot and it is so impressive.
The cute boy carrying the balloon makes the photo look amazing.

Concerning your question:
I think there is Over-Saturation in both the wheat and the reds,
The inclusion of the sky in the upper part would not serve the photo,A little crop would be a good thing.

I made a quick editing using Lightroom, Just to have an idea..")

Hmm I think your right - at first I thought the blue part of the sky was important in the photo but now that I see it out, I agree. The thing is, I had other photos that were cropped like that and I thought the blue sky on this one made it stand out.

Thanks to both of you for your input! I guess it is a bit saturated
