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.
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!
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 :)
