I am not sure how you received so many 1's. This is very creative and definetly has red in it (Meets challenge). I really like the motion you show and the crispness of the background. Likely the low votes were due to either desaturation (which I liked on this entry) or the blur (which may have been interpreted falsely as out of focus).
I am not sure about your placement of the umbrella dead center. This may have worked a little better if it were shot from the same location and you and the umbrella were off center and slightly smaller in the image.
I have no idea what this is which is sometimes OK. Because of the centered composition and obvious contrast it is very much the focal point and it's not very interesting.
