Hello :-)

I would appreciate any comments on this one :-) Im not sure about the crop, originaly the photo had the brolly spot in the middle, but think i like this off center cropping. Any comments would be great! ..is it a bit boring?

Many Thanks

I love it, looks awesome! Brolly definitely looks good off centre like that. It's a shot I'd love to see with really bright green grass, almost unaturally green, that's just my thought!

I like what you have done here. I don't know why, but to me the sky makes the picture IMO. What I mean is the light blue merging into the dark blue. Am I wrong?

Very interesting photo but I do find the colors a bit jarring for some reason. But I learned what a brolly was....:lol:

I just saw it used in a flash thread too....

Very nice. Interesting subject. The sky is beautiful and in contrast with the yellow and dark blue of the brolly make it very nice. I agree with every one, the fact that the brolly is a bit off center makes it more interesting. To add to this, I would also crop away just a bit of grass from the bottom though.

Just inspired to look at this by your post on my shot. Wonderful, I love it. Is it Southport? :D

Yes! lol

Poor car got stuck in the stand and had to dig it out, couldnt figure out what to take a picture of so had a look in my boot, and found a brolly, a spade and a draft excluder, so walked all over the sand dunes with the equipment, locals thought i was going to murder and bury somebody!

I'd love to go back in the rain :-)

You went out into the sand dunes like that? I'm suprised the whole of the Lancashire Constabulary didn't arrived!! :)
