Critique Club Review:

I feel this image should have scored much higher. Perhaps color would have helped.

Focus, and depth of field are perfect. Especially after we see how it was done. No hint of all the umbrellas in the background, even after you know how it was done.

Brightness, lighting, and contrast are dead on. I can see where some might feel it isn't abstract, but looking at the other photos, I would say this one is in the same league.

Looks like the Traveler's umbrella. This would be a cool selective desaturation shot with the red umbrella.
