I really like this. I'll try to say why but there's a lot going on... I like that the person is standing on the very bottom edge of the photo - it's disconnected and 'floating' but feels grounded at the same time. I like how cold and crisp it feels. I like the hard solid lines and the soft blurred circle - there's a struggle there but it's playful. The structure combined with his work boots and pants made me think of an oil rig. And why would a guy be spinning an umbrella on an oil rig? I don't know but that made it intriguing. Very well done, this one of my top ranked for this challenge.

Wow, this is fantastic. It is very cool (in the temperature respect). Well done matching the umbrella up with the railings and (if on purpose) not showing a guy in blue jeans and tennis shoes. I hope this one does well!

Without the title it is very hard to see that the umbrella is moving. I like the lack of color in the photo. I find it adds a great deal more contrast and crispness to the photo. well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>

I love your imaginative take. The monochromatic theme is great with the splash of brown in the shoes. I like everything about this. It is so artfully done. 10

Aah... So this is what good composition looks like... Interesting...
I'll give it a 9 for now. Maybe a 10 later, depending on the competition :-)
