I really like this shot. Mostly for the blue hue..a sexy red heel sticking out under (um, not on this guy, tho) would've added some ooomph but according to the scores and placement - you didn't need it.
Thanks for all the great comments. I really wasn't sure how people would react to this image and I was please with a top-ten finish.. It is sometimes difficult to create both something that "people" in general might like as well as something that I like!
This is terrific. Great idea, inspired location, good composition, perfect crop, nice exposure, effective processing. Not much else to say, after all that. Bravo! 8
Wow, I really hope this shot scores somewhere near 7. To that end you've got a ten from me. Amazingly creative. Love the subtle colours - all in all your processing is terrific.
Love the reailings with the feeling of some sort of puzzle adds an extra dimension. Pity the umbrella is not more defined at the edges, it almost gets lost into the background.
this is by far the best picture in this challenge. a 10 from me. i love all the blues and then the brown shoes. really good picture in my book. good luck.
Lines, circles, movement, and hidden people always make for great compositions. The leading lines of the fence to the left pointing to the umbrella help as well. Like the shot. Only improvement would be had it been a woman behind the umbrella (as in a skirt or something, as I don't picture too many men twirling umbrellas. 7
Very cool. love how crisp and sharp everything is. also love the bright color scheme, and the effect of the umbrella being spun. All together, a very pleasing result. 10
wow, you have really great control over your highlights! everything is basically white but yet nothing is blown out. and amazing detial everywhere in the photo. and nice colors as well. 9
I really like this. I'll try to say why but there's a lot going on... I like that the person is standing on the very bottom edge of the photo - it's disconnected and 'floating' but feels grounded at the same time. I like how cold and crisp it feels. I like the hard solid lines and the soft blurred circle - there's a struggle there but it's playful. The structure combined with his work boots and pants made me think of an oil rig. And why would a guy be spinning an umbrella on an oil rig? I don't know but that made it intriguing. Very well done, this one of my top ranked for this challenge.
Wow, this is fantastic. It is very cool (in the temperature respect). Well done matching the umbrella up with the railings and (if on purpose) not showing a guy in blue jeans and tennis shoes. I hope this one does well!
Without the title it is very hard to see that the umbrella is moving. I like the lack of color in the photo. I find it adds a great deal more contrast and crispness to the photo. well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
I love your imaginative take. The monochromatic theme is great with the splash of brown in the shoes. I like everything about this. It is so artfully done. 10
