A bunch of cocktail umbrellas, positioned in a lightbox and shot with my two heatlamp lights, one suspended overhead, the other handheld. Even used a tripod! And yes there are nine...count em.

It's been a while since I did one of these for you :)
First impression of this image is that it is nice and cheery. The colours are great and it's a really good idea. However, I do feel the composition is somewhat cramped and a bit busy. I'm sure it would have scored higher had there been a little bit more space around the umbrellas, they just somehow feel far too squashed.
From a technical point of view I think the lighting is fine, nothing is really burnt out which could be a strong possibility.
Mainly I think with this image, it is the composition that prevented a score above 5.
