:) That's really nice. Takes you a minute to work out what's happening, and then you go: 'Aah, I see!'.
I can't believe how low this scored actually - the title really works, the composition has a nice harmony to it. and the left umbrella has those nice interesting shapes and sunrays shining through it. Sub-5?! Whatever.

A little hard to make out at first as the RH umbrella is not easily identifiable. My eye travels directly to the sunburst.

In a themed challenge this would have scored a lot higher, I bet. No northern light, big cat or sky for free study - hey. That said - this is an awesome shot. Love the contrasts and the composition - very wonderful.

Regarding candids... I just shoot without shame and so far nobody has protested. The only time I was yelled at was when I took photos of a truck. So try it. Also, if you point your camera at people for a while, they lose interest and start going about their business - et voila! A candid!

I wish the spider was on this side of the screen - we don't get to see all the cool detail - the purples and reds are pretty good but the sharpness could be a lot better

Very nice. The shadows help form the light path to the subject. And the artist and subject of the painting seem to be echoes -- very similar positions. I like the height of the columns and the simplicity of the whole image. The more I explore it, the better I like it.

Kinda like how the water looks strangely out of proportion to the rest of the picture.
