Welcome back indeed!

I compared to the original scene from 2015. I prefer the original. Maybe 
you could decrease both the diffuse albedo and the backside illumination 
of the balloons a bit? Or maybe only the diffuse albedo as I think it is 
too strong for the remainder of the scene. If I remember correctly from 
the times I use diffuse albedo, it looks much stronger than the classic 
diffuse and has to be tempered.
