 A couple of yellow school umbrellas hoiked into the air. A better camera no doubt would freeze the movement better.

Heh, right on! My kind of photo.

Isn't it fun to throw things up in the air?

:D

I love it! Not to mention you beat "High Note" by quite a bit. Good job!

This is such a shame - if these umbrellas were crisp and in focus you would have been in the top ten comfortably. Terrific Idea.

My favorite shot on the whole site, perhaps is an umbrella shot. This was very clever and pretty well done. A couple of things hurt it. The exposure issues on the left umbrella, the movement blur as well (though if you look at my portfolio, you'll know I am generally a fan of movement blur). I think a faster shutter speed would have worked better. Also, the noise in the sky is a problem for this kind of shot.

IMHO Just the one on the right would have been perfect.

i would have cropped the bottom part, as there is too much space

i'd like this better if it was a touch sharper. nice whimsical concept though

Your colors work so well together - it becomes a classic. The movement of the handle of the left umbrella adds a bit of mystery that some will object to. Keep up the great work.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 8, this is one of my top faves for the challenge. i really wish there wasn't any motion blur, but i also know how hard this must have been to shoot. i bet you had fun with this. good luck!

Excellent capture. Like seeing the movement in the left umbrella

I'm still undecided on this one. I'm not sure I like the 'movement' of the umbrellas. I will have to come back to this one.

Now this is just tooooooo clever. How many times did you have to do this to get the focus so sharp? Just a little movement on the side which hopefully will be overlooked because of the difficulty of the shot. BOL You've got a 9 from me :)

love it, love the shadowing...could have been used for the wind challenge.

Like the idea.

Get these in a breeze and you could use it for wind too. Nice picture

I really like this idea. I wish it were sharper. I give it a 6. 7-8 if it has been sharper.

Without the motion blur this would be quite something.
