For all that color, though, it really lacks "pop" - it really lacks highlights.

Hangin' On For One More Day

I need to post a comment thanking the Committee for not DQing me over some very ancillary branches I cloned out. I half-expected one going in, and was prepared for it. Then, when I actually won the challenge, I was thinking, "Yep, I finally win, and I get my first DQ!!", so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being reasonable. I promise to hold back my next 1 1/2 complaints.

Cute. Framing feels off - a little too tightly cropped at the bottom.

Just a touch too much contrast for me, but nicely done otherwise. 7.

Stripes...

Love the textures. And while I love the additional umbrellas in the background, something about the spacing feels not quite right - like I either want to see more or less of them, but not that much. Still very good. 7

I believe I would prefer a tighter crop from the top. Still, love the shot. 9

What color do I need today?

Didn't you have something to kill those shadows?! ;)

Seriously, though, I'm not really liking the shadow and would have preferred a more even lighting on the wall. Still, nicely conceived.

A little heavy on the vignetting. I like the offset of the feet to the center of the umbrella.

I think this would have been better rotated 180 degrees. I don't often think of that, but for some reason here I did.

The edge of the table takes away from an otherwise effective photo.
