By far the most creative shot I've seen in the challenge. While the highlights on the top of the umbrella are a bit hot, I think it's worth it for the awesome overall exposure you got. :) Also, great choice on the uber-colorful shirt! I think it really tied the shot together. 8 from me.

I wish it wasn't so obvious this was a photographic umbrella. I love the colors and the side light. Very nice. If you had more freedom with the editing I would love to see the support lines on the umbrella lightened or something. Still, very well thought out shot.

I am for once don`t mind the busy background in here,
But there are two issues preventing this picture from scoring high.

1- Big part of the face is over exposed, which caused some details loss, like the subject`s eyebrow.
2- You used a big Aperture 3.5, which increase the DOF, makes parts of the water and the model face a bet soft, I`d go for aperture 5.6 or 6.

It is a very nice try, the problems are minor, but the creativity is there, just need more practise :)
Keep shooting and all the best,
