many congratulations Lydia on your fourth place in this impressive challenge ..
I love this so much ..
and apparently different to everyone else .. i love the sunlight on the umbrella .. the man and the boy .. I feel it gives it more impact somehow .. and definitely more contrasts ..
I don't understand ppl's desire for total 'reality' in these obviously manipulated images .. I like that things can be different from our reality .. and i'm blown away by ppl like you who create these stories with their art ...

loved reading your story of how this all came together ..
I can imagine the boy will want a print to hang on his wall .. and he'd say this really cool photographer wanted to use him as a model ... how cool .. sick .. mad and dope .. that covers all generations I think ..!!!! .. ;)

Funny, good approach to the theme, good use of extended editing. The compositing is obvious but meant to be, and it works. The bright sunlight on the subjects' pants is a little distracting given that it's supposed to be storming; also the blending between the sky and ground is in the uncanny valley - I'd have chosen to make it more abrupt rather than trying to blend it.
