Umbrella and Ivy
by banmorn

Comment:
Red-Blue-Green tri-colour scheme is simple but highly effective in this composition. The tones are brilliant and the contrasts not only of hue but of semi-straight curves against the curled ivy. Very nice, definitely eyecatching.

Definitely a unique sideways point of view. The rainbow colours in this are beautiful as are the predominently blue water ripples.

Poor Man's Bird Feeder

I would not have ever thought to use a brolley as a birdfeeder (and it might provide a semblance of shelter as well to the winged creatures of the Earth)so that is a creative out of the box idea. This pretty blue bowled brolley is in great contrast to the rest of the stark snowy landscape. This is a great & unique Winter composition.

Colorful Umbrellas

Love the brilliant metallic colours in this and the shapes of the repeating circles and arcs of circles. The snowflake designs on the mini-brolleys also provide a nice touch.

The starkness of black and white works very well for this. I like the upturned umbrella bowl catching the fragile dusting of the snow.

Clown with Umbrella

This resonates with just the subtlest touches of sadness. I like it very much.

The very selective desaturation in this draws the eye directly to the pink apparently discarded brolley, then the curved path takes you farther to the children, one of whom has a colourful jacket while the tones of the father's slacks mimic the colours of the empty bench. The passerby way way in the distance has just a hint of pink pants too completing the circle. Lines are supreme in this - the trash can, the benches, the pathways, the bridge,the upright trees in the Park - all echoing and reinforcing the whole composition but it takes careful study to realise this. Superb & understated.

Nature Umbrella

While the gold tones of this provide a feeling of warmth, it takes a good eye to spot the natural umbrellas of the 'shrooms. Perhaps these are Faery Brolleys...Linear reinforcement in this is superb.

brolly hopping

Comment:
I like how you cannot see the human except from the knees down as the blue jeans and shoeless feet make a great contrast with the white brolly. Clearly in motion but with no rain, so it is a mechanism of obfuscation here but it IS effective & engaging. The white high-key background adds to this a lot also.

Our Umbrella

The contrasts of orange against green are very effective in this as is the star point of view against the octagonal centre. Clean lines & subtly shaded colours make an engaging & superb photograph.
