Comment by kiwinick:
good idea I would have cropped most of the back ground out making it a panoramis shot that would have made it a stronger image IMO 5

How? Pre-focused the camera to 3 m at the wide-angle end of the lens and threw the brolly to the air, pressed the button and tried to guess for shutter lag. Repeated many times. JPEG from camera was brightened up with levels and the colours of the umbrella further enhanced by saturation as they were pretty dull in this overcast weather. The background stayed unchanged as it was grey to start with. That's it!

Shown is the full-frame shot. I kept the brambles to provide a reference point. Would have loved to shrink it even further without having to get it higher but 38 mm was the widest I could get out of the lens.

Thanks for looking and all comments, past and present!

Cheers!
