Firstly , thank you for entering my challenge. The beautiful bright red colour of the umbrella resting against the blue of the sky and sea tends to strike one immediately upon viewing. The bright red tend to draw the viewer in to the image in order to further inspect and peruse the image. The concept of- less is more - is played out well in this image while the umbrella remains the main point of focus at all times. Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The surrealistic appeal of this image is it's great draw card along with the apt title of storm catcher. The clever nature of how the umbrella is swallowing up the storm in order to create the way for a beautiful sunny day is both a novel and creative idea. The building in the background also serves as a point of interest but not as much so as to distract from the main topic at hand- the man trying to balance the umbrella. Congrats and well done!

Firstly thank you for entering my challenge. The surrealistic appeal of this image is both innovative and extremely creative. The turn of events of the rain falling through the roof instead of the sky is a novel concept One begins to understand the resigned nature of the woman below the umbrella as well as the irony of the slightly comical appeal of the various buckets surrounding her- these have obviously been carefully placed in order to catch the random droplets of water so as to avoid flooding in her abode. She has taken the task of seeking out some respite and relaxing back in the chair to contemplate her demise. The various contrasting colours so used also tend to compliment the image in a perfect fashion. Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. Once again the surrealistic appeal holds great creativity and demonstrates the innovative appeal of the photographer. One can imagine the pouring paint likened to rain tumbling down except for where of course, the umbrellas reside. The beautiful colours of the various streaks of paint tends to remind us of the rainbow of colours that come after a down pour.Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge- The surrealism so involved in this image is both astounding and extremely creative. One can only but imagine a road through the sea in your wildest imagination making this a very novel idea. The pure simplicity of this image also proves that - less is more and proves very effective. The birds flying above the road also serve as a point of interest but do not distract from the main topic at hand- that of the well dressed gentleman with his umbrella ready for his lengthy journey. Congrats and well done!
