Bumping up. Plenty of drink umbrellas in this challenge, but mostly static/pattern shots. You've gone a stage further with the falling water (or could it be salt/sugar?) and that deserves a higher mark for increased effort resulting in a better image.
Since the composition is so bold, and there really is only two elements in this photograph, I actually think I would prefer a slightly faster shutter speed to maintain a little more definition in the water.
cool, i was gonna try something like this. Glad i didnt, I dont think it would have been as strong as this is. Not too keen on the flow of sugar or is it salt coming down in one column, so think it would work better with a tight crop just at the top of the brolly IMHO. Still worth an 8. great work
