 I couldn't get my neighbor's black cat to sit on his normal stoop...so this SP had to do.

Nice place...but you really shouldn't open your umbrella indoors.

This would have worked better for me with a background the was in keeping with the bad luck theme. 6

The background is a bit distracting. The eye leads to the dining room and the first impression I got was that you were having company for dinner. I'm sure that's not what you were wanting to portray. I bet a different crop would have worked better.

bad luck to open your umbrella indoors dude!

I like the sharp focus of this and the lighting is good. The composition of the entry to the dinning room also adds interest in my opinion.

I really like this. About the only thing that throws me a little is the lines of the door frames are off just a bit.

It's probably just the bathtub leaking. ;^) Going to need some ceiling repair however.

BTW. Didn't you know it's bad luck to open an umbrella inside!!!

Cute idea. I think the composition would be stronger with less doorway. Put the doorframe on the thirds line. The dining room distracts the viewer...

Great idea. I think cropping out half the dining room would make a more pleasing composition. 6

looks like your door is leaning. Good lighting on the model, but the umbrella has almost no detail in it at all, I would have liked to see some there.

nicely done. that wall color is beautiful.

the black against the pink wall is great, but I find the dining room totally distracting. This photo would have been much better with a large expanse of wall behind the subject and maybe just the moulding around the doorway showing- or maybe a small piece of art work somewhere to confirm it was indoors

Hmm, the composition seems to be a little bit off.
I would've included a little bit of water drops here and there..

I like the contrasting colors of this shot

Im thinking black raindrops or confettie or something. it needs a Visual effect to show 'It's' Raining. other wise this is more along the lines of 'Is it' Raining.

Also, doesn't give me the feel that he is indoors. The lighting suggests outdoors. Even though the doorway looks inside.

The black umbrella and the wall provide a great contrast
