I just noticed this in your profile, and I think it is amazing. In fact, I think you really got robbed on this. I love the lines and the contrast of the bright pink against the moody sky. Into faves. Bravo.

This deserved a ribbon! Oh well... I knew the voters wouldn't go for the darkness. I gave it a 9. :)

Oh the red umbrella just pops out of the pic. Love the ominous skies. The symmetry and post processing are awesome. Congrats on the score!

Saturdays are much more fun where I'm from.

this is a very great image. The leading lines draw you right into the umbrella. The image is so dark that it feels sad, but the bright pink brightens the feeling. Great composition.

a touch brighter would have really made this zing, I think

I like this quite a bit, but wish it wasn't so dark. Best of luck!

This is one of those shots that's right on the edge of being the bomb! Don't ask me how you could improve this. I do think that if you could boost the contrast a little a make the umbrella pop a little more that that would be a good start!

Yeah, I've had Saturdays like that. And, Sundays, and...wait, this isn't about me, is it?

Nice drama. Perhaps a teeny bit dark, but I like the color choice and the composition works well.

So moody... so full of meaning. I love it. I have a hunch that this might get bombed for being a sort of dark, low-key image. :( IMO, the darkness adds so much to this shot. Excellent job. This is a true classic.

Somewhat cliche, but well done compositionally.

Very moody...really like the pink drowning in the grey. 9

Beautiful image - perfect color choice. This monitor sucks - could be a hair brighter - either the monitor or the image. non-the-less - excellent work - Good luck! 9

Lovely perspective, and wonderful colors that really 'pop' out and grab you. Gorgeous clouds.

Great shot :) Nice mood with the surroundings grey and the person in color. Kind of hoped to see a sky blue colored umbrella for the concept.

underexposed, otherwise a great idea. 5

Great pic, but a little too dark.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/21/2007 01:05:27 PM
This is awfully dark. Wish it was lighter as the composition, focus and desat choices are very strong.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/21/2007 11:59:36 AM
I love this. The allignment could use some work though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/21/2007 10:10:48 AM
Love the color of the umbrella! Very striking against the gray background!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/21/2007 09:50:13 AM
This conveys the mood well, although perhaps a little wider range of tones and contrast would have improved it. Good luck
