Took 16 photos and then the batteries ran out... 3 were in focus, this one just barely... by the time I found the extra battery, the patience had run out :D So this is what I was left with...

I think I would like it better if the sharp focus was on the girl's face rather than the umbrella, but since this was an umbrella challenge, maybe that is best! One of my fav's.
It's cute, but she is looking out of the frame (makes you wonder what she is looking at), her hand is chopped off, and the image is a little soft on the girl. Looks like the focus fell on the umbrella (maybe you were trying to do that, but it doesn't work)
hush hush, eye to eye
but she oh so beautiful when she's shy.
Nice tones, beautiful overall sharpness and the touch of softness. In short, one of the top photographs to me.
Beautifully handled image, shares top place in my marking. Some might mention the strength of highlight on her left arm, but as part of the soft look to the main model it works for me. Parasol is sharp and with detail provides a great counterbalance.
