Umbrellas

November 2021

I really liked this image, the colours and tones are beautiful and the two feet appearing from underneath made me smile. There's nice sharp detail of the raindrops settling on the umbrella and the motion blur of rain adds a nice atmosphere to the image.

I chose this image as the winner as it is such a strong shot and shouts umbrellas at me. It's a very well exposed shot which has avoided the highlight details being burned out. The crushed black shadows contrast really well against the vibrant colours of the umbrellas.
