The Shared Umbrella

Wow. I almost never comment on shots, but this one is great. This deserved the blue. It is the most appropriate for the challenge. The other 2 ribbon winners do not fit the challenge nearly as naturally. Also, the shot looks MUCH better is b/w. In color, the colorful background steals the focus away from the somber foreground. The bright colors and modern scenery also rob the shot of it's nostalgic romance.

I'd prefer it more realistic, less comically unreal.

It isn't centered. Crop should've centered it. Border is meh. great subject matter though. Lighting was fortunate. 7

Creative, very. I'm conflicted about the tree borders. I like how the photo is not "pretty." Title is perfect. It draws interest into the shot, as it is not immediatly relevant to the viewer. Possibly over worked in PP. still nice. 8

Calm before the storm

I'd like a bit more emphasis on the "storm" you mention. It is not extremely clear in the reflection (If the clouds reflect at all). That would create more interest. I still like it. 7
