Congratulations on 6th place. A very cheeky image, it made me smile, it stood out from the crowd and went straight into my 'keep' pile as soon as I saw it. I love the lack of subject, who is just showing her legs and is mainly hidden behind the umbrella - it leaves me asking - what is going on behind there? The composition is simple, beautiful textures in the wall and overall very well handled - it is a quality image, well done! PS I've just read your comments and hadn't noticed the hair removed, now I know it's there I'd revisit the patch and re-touch it up in PShop as it's ghosted in areas.
Congratulations on 5th place. This drew me in for several reasons. I love the composition, the leading lines of the street, the main characters offset to the left but perfectly placed, and the dark wet evening mood of the street - a true feast for the eyes! I love the handling of the monochrome, with beautiful deep blacks. But most of all I love the story telling, with the main subjects who look like they've had an argument or falling out - it just leaves me looking at it and asking myself more questions. Brilliant work and well done!
Congratulations on 1st place. This drew me in for several reasons. I love the composition, the leading lines of the pillars, the main character offset but perfectly placed, the silhouette figures in the back adding context and scale - a true feast for the eyes! I love the handling of the monochrome, with beautiful deep blacks. But most of all I love the story telling, with the main subjects face hidden under her umbrealla - it just leaves me looking at it and asking myself more questions. Brilliant work and well done!
Congratulations on 3rd place. I love this, it's so simple yet so beautiful. No distractions, and the quality is just stunning with superb textures in the monochrome stones and wonderful details in the contrasting red umbrella. It's also the little details like the matching red shoes to the red umbrella, and the grey coat blending into the stone work which puts so much emphasis on the umbrella. Super work, well done!

Congratulations on 7th place. A very compotent image, you are clearly a very skilled photographer, creatively, technically and through post processing. This went straight into my 'keep' pile as soon as I saw it, it is a very creative image that stood from the crowd and deserved a top 10 spot. The quality is excellent, I love the detail and origami bird figures. Well done and keep up the great work!

In this contest I want you to show me your best photos of umbrellas. Try to show umbrellas in use in a street scene, or maybe show umbrellas photographed creatively. Entries can be in colour or black and white.
Congratulations on 8th place. This went straight into my 'keep' pile, I love it for so many reasons. The red on red on red is fantastic, with the pale skinned subject and red lips really popping from the image. It's a timeless image with a very skilled creative stance on the competition. The quality isn't the highest, leaving a grainy image, however I think this works and adds to its appeal. Well done!
Congratulations on 9th place! This went in and out of my top 10 a number of times, but I have ended up just loving this image. Simplicity is king here, and this is just brilliant! I'm also glad you've kept it in colour too as a pure B&W wouldn't have been as effective. I love the composition, with the diagonal lines really helping to emphasise the subject. Through the simplicity it leaves me asking who is behind the wall and holding that umbrella. Well done!
This image so very nearly made my top 10, neverless this is a great image. There were so many street furniture decoration based hanging umbrella images submitted and this stood out from the crowd for being different - a reflection opposed to a straight shot. I love the composition, use of reflection, colours and overall image quality. Well done and keep up the great work!
Congratulations on 10th place. This drew me in for several reasons. I love the composition, a very simple but well timed reflection image which provides a true feast for the eyes, particuarly in the different textures! I love the handling of the monochrome, with beautiful deep blacks. I also love the story telling, with the main subject jumping over the puddles - it just leaves me looking at it and asking myself more questions. Brilliant work and well done!
Congratulations on 4th place. I love this, it's so simple yet so beautiful. No distractions, and the quality is just stunning with superb contrasting and matching colours between the subject and red wall background. It's also the little details like the matching red tie to the red wall, and white shirt matching the umbrella which puts so much emphasis on the subject and his umbrella. Super work, well done!

This image so very nearly made my top 10, neverless this is a great image. I love the composition, bold colours used to make the subject pop out and overall image quality. If this was mine I'd be tempted crop out all the dead space on the right hand side leaving the subject in the middle of a square crop. Well done and keep up the great work!
