Rusty Iron Umbrella

Comment by HBunch:
Very nice find. You know what I wish though? I wish that you could desaturate all but the inside of the umbrella. This would be a perfect example of that technique I think. The only problem would be the orange thing on the right side of the photo, which I find distracting to the umbrella. I do realize that it's rusty too, and adds to the rustness of the photo, but I just think it takes away from this beautiful find. Rusty, and interesting. Congrats. Focus and clarity are really good and I like the placement of the subject as well. Slightly close crop on the left side, kind of nipped off one of the corners of the umbrella. What would something like this be used for? Strange indeed. ~Heather~

Love the color contrasts and the amusing expressions on the faces of the dogs. Nicely done. Expect you tried the composition with both dogs in focus as well, and decided on this one. In any event, it is an appealing image.

great use of natural framing and a wonderful way to bring in interesting color. excellent expression on 1st dog's face -- sad to say second dog detracts from the shot for me.

I think you should crop it to omit the fuzzy dog in the background and really focus on the foremost dog. Love the green and white.
