This is how I feel right now. After the crap going on about who can say and do what in the forums...I am feeling like escaping right now. Just being alone...but you know what...I can't. I have friends that care. Friends that are by my side...and that is more important than pathetic prudent idiots who think they are more pure than anyone else. Well guess what....It is those ridiculous people who think they are holier than thou' that are getting laughed at. Get your noses out of the air and come back down to earth. In other words, grow up!

Nice sharp focus on the subject. I really like the way the gold of the sun fades into a rose colored sky. A take without the tree present might increase the feeling of solitude. The way the umbrella gives a good strong silhouette, yet the fabric glows in the sun is great.
There is a little halo along the horizon, but what the heck. I think it adds to the mood of the piece, and the picture might not be as strong without it.
If there is anything that I would really change, it would be the border. It could be an optical illusion that the bottom is thicker than the top. I would have prefered a more symetrical border, personally.
I have no idea why anyone voted a 1-2-3 on this piece, even accounting for different tastes. Good job! (notice I did not say sir. ;-)
Here, Here, with you all the way Judi, And the photo deserved better, well done, Kita is giving you a run, so you can't go and be alone,we need your spirit on this site.
Lots of wow factor for me. The detail in the umbrella designs is very cool!
I think if you spend some more time with this applying advanced editing techniques, it might be worth the work to paint/sharpen the ground and horizon outlines and blend in the saturation halos.
Wow! That's pretty! The lace of the umbrella works so beautifully with the sunset to create a silhouette with sufficient detail and beauty to hold the interest. I'm not sure I like the heaviness of the tree top at the top right hand corner, especially as it's not really anchored by a tree trunk. It's kind of a dark splodge just hanging there. I wonder if moving a few steps left or right or just framing slighly differently would create a stronger composition?
This is my favourite. The pattern in the umbrella and the sunset colours are fantastic. Not overly fond of your border but I won't hold that against you.
Fab image here. Nice interesting silhouette and as for the colour, its gorgeous. If I were nit picking, the tree that encroaches into the left of the frame is a little distracting, but nothing a little cloning couldn't deal with.
I'm debating on whether or not I'd like this more with the background sharp as well as the umbrella. I like this image, and I think it meets the challege.
