The first picture I scored, and one of my 4 faves for this challenge. Composition is exciting for an abstract photo - I like the interplay of the slight curves and the straight lines - the lighting is good, a few hotspots here and there, but nothing overly distracting - at points they even help highlight the texture of the umbrella. The border is not overbearing and well thought out. Overall - 8

Composition is quite good, lovely colours in that umbrella and I really like the visual impact that it gives off when you first look at it.
Focus is good, nice and sharp, colours are good, I like the black lines against all the green.
