FIRST IMPRESSION : Nice colors, summer but not specifically interesting shot.

COMPOSITION : I like the arrangement of items and the colors are definitly summery : the skirt, the bikini. However the back ground is really too much. It's probably a cover bed. I am not saying a white cover would have been better but .. something else, an other texture maybe. Like those ... I do not know how they are called ... like cheap rectangle or straw that you roll and that have a color border that are used to seat on the beach ? something like that.

TECHNIQUE : Not oversharpened which I like the colors are nice and tnot too saturated which I like. Exposition is good except the whites of the Sun lotion however are blown out.

FINAL IMPRESSION :
I like the colors (except back ground) and to me that 'save' the picture and it meets the challenge. I would have give that one a 5 for the idea and the colors (I did not vote that week).

Wonderful vivid colors and compositional props that certainly evoke a feeling of a certain kind of weather. If I have any issue it's that the colors may be a bit too saturated for my liking. For instance, I find the red cap to the suntan lotion to be bright. Hey, how about a beach date? :)

I understand your weather theme here but the image itself doesn't show 'weather'. It suggests weather though... - setzler

Very weak, the subject is weather, there are just too many opportunities to shoot fantastic weather issues, storm clouds etc. I get the idea, just find it a lazy way to shoot the subject. No challenge in the image at al, DOF is not an issue, color is not an issue, compostion is not an issue. Sorry, but this doesn't fly with me.

You selection of items and the color of those items has Spring wrtten all over it. Nice arrangement.

Very well taken photo. (the reds might be turned up a touch too much, on my monitor at least) This shot implies sun heavily, but I see no effects of weather, now a sun tanned skin (tan lines in the face or elsewhere) might have been called an effect of weather, this is more like anticipation of weather. 5 Rob the Swash

Creative idea. Good use of resources to try and make the image more unique.

Nice clear photo but the patterned background is a little distracting (a plain background would have been better).

This is original, good idea. And very summerly composed :-)

Not so much weather, or the effects of weather... maybe the dreams of better weather coming? Close, but... It's a little busy - none of the items really stand out, they all kind of blend together.

not very interesting, maybe if you put those objects in the sand it would be more interesting

Great shot, I really like the bright lively colors and textures. 7.

I think I would have put the objects on a plain background to make the colours pop. Also it's a bit of a stretch for the challenge in my mind.

I wish it was summer. :) Nice colorful shot. Background is a little busy.

I really like this, I think a solid background would have given a beter effect.
