two patio umbrellas at an outdoor restaurant.
the umbrellas got different curves than the greenery, and the sun was not sharpened while the rest of it was. all done with the magic of photoshop layer masks.

I can't say this necessarily fits the challenge too well, but as a photo in its own merit it is very interesting. (I tend to like photos that push the challenge envelope and probably would have given you a 7 if I'd voted this.) You wouldn't be Don Giovanni, LOL, if you didn't make the viewers think for a moment.
:) That's really nice. Takes you a minute to work out what's happening, and then you go: 'Aah, I see!'.
I can't believe how low this scored actually - the title really works, the composition has a nice harmony to it. and the left umbrella has those nice interesting shapes and sunrays shining through it. Sub-5?! Whatever.
The potential for this shot is really great, but the execution of this particular image was not the best. A better sky would have helped, and maybe some fill in light for the lower parts of the umbrella would have gotten rid of the grain which occurred due to low light.
