*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

There is an air of mystery in your image but your intent is not obvious to me. In respect of the challenge any desat will enable you to meet the challenge so it has achieved that.

You have made a conscious decision to compose your image in the way you have which is sort of effective but I think this is a case where the rule of thirds may have been better certainly for the brolly. I'm all for breaking the 'rules' but it has to be done effectively and I'm not sure it is here.

You have chosen well with the brolly it adds interest in its own right but even more so with the desat background. The grill in the wall breaks up the expanse nicely, without it the wall would be very bland and uninteresting.

If there was some human element it would greatly improve the image and give it the impact it lacks. I have to be honest and say that I don't understand your title in relation to the image. Titles are very important to give your viewer more of a clue as to your motivation or intention behind the original image.

I also don't understand your sole commenter, he appears to approve of your image yet only scores it with a 1. Having never yet come across any image that deserves such a low score I just can't understand why he has done this.

Happy shooting Sid
