Nice idea, good unique color, and lines which lead the eye.

I seem to "draw" your pictures a lot. I can't decide if it is fate, karmic retribution, or a conspiratorial re-education plan.

Compositionally, it is well balanced and the red umbrella does well to attract, and keep, the viewers attention.

Technically, it is well focused, lit, exposed and processed. It has a good level of contrast and the details are visible throughout.

What I like the best, though, and what I suspect may have put some people off is that the person is completely hidden from the viewer. I like that. It speaks of "everyman" and could be any one of us in that same situation. It also reminded me of my freshman year at Appalachian State where I actually attempted to carry an umbrella, only to have it blown inside out repeatedly (Upperclassmen just buy a big poncho to cover their backpack and what not).

I think it is a very well done shot, on several levels, and would have like to see it score higher. Great work, once again.

In spite of the strong golden cast, probably from a sunset, I find this a soft and relaxing image.

Very impressionistic. I like the extreme shallow dof and the little burst of color in the background is a nice contrast. I find myself wanting to push apart whatever that is and see what the purple is.

It's a nice shot. Hope the voters don't chew you up too badly. :)

Almost voyeristic... I like that they're hiding from you a bit, leaves a bit to my imagination.

I like the leading line of the fence, the tree and the horse add good balance.

Love the use of the lens! It is a great illustration of the dark lyrics.
