Lovely look at a feather - good detail, composition. The water droplet give a nice spot for your eye to settle and encourages them to move on because you can see through it. the bright highlights in the droplet are a bit blown out.

Is this roadrunner? I recognize the umbrella from a shot on your website

Apologies to the photographer if I'm mistaken :)

Anyhow, this is a well composed shot, I like how you've made your subject dark and unidentifiable placing most of the attention on the umbrella. I just wish that it wasn't a barbie umbrella ;)

Technically faultless IMO, not much I would have changed here apart from the brand name umbrella.

An 8 from me and good luck with the challenge

Nice sharp silhouette. It combines well with the mid-tones of the umbrella.

Black and white was a good idea for this. Barbie pink would just be silly, grey is moody and rainy. Nice.

Comment by jemison:
this is great! I love the lines, broken by deformations and lens effect of the water drop. B/W works very nicely . My only nit on this one is the water drop in the lower right corner. It is a bit distracting, but overall this is really nice. Well done...bumping up

Relevance to challenge (2): 1- Circles are present but not prominent
Color/Lighting/Exposure (2): 1.5- nice silhouette (see composition)
Sharpness/Picture Quality (2): 2
Composition (2): 1 - try cropping the sides and the top to remove some sky and produce a more pleasing balance between light and dark. Cropping the right side midway between the umbrella sections would have removed the bright spot in the lower right is distracting, then cropping the left side till the figure is on the right 3rd of the picture would have helped. Cropping the top down till you can still tell its an umbrella but places the horizon a little higher along the lower third gridline might help.
Creativity/Originality (2): 2-I like it. it made me look.
