		| Just rediscovered this one. I'm really surprised this didn't do better. It was one of my high picks. Simply excellent sense of composition here, magnificent depth, terrifically moody shot. |

		| Indeed deserved higher, I think this shot is excellent! There's a lot to be read from the person in the back like he doesn't like the rain! (maybe even boredom due to a rainy day?). Keep up the good work! |

		| Interseting set of reactions to this shot J: thought it deserved a higher placing than this, although that burn ... |

		| Ah, I wish I had just a fraction of the talent that is in this shot - composition, focus, color, mood, ... it's very, very nice. Thanks for entering this. |

		| for some reason this image really hits me, and I really hope you do well. I like the slight green tint to the whole thing, and I also like the grain in the shadows. I don't really care for the crop, but thats just my opinion. Bumped up. |

		| i really like the composition and mood.  i think you're on the right track as far as the dodging/burning, but it could use a little more work. |

		| Interesting, dirty image - love the feel of it, very expressive. The areas you appear to have darkened seems a brutal effect - perhaps a touch heavy--handed? Not enough feathering? Nothing else in frame seems to go quite a black as those areas ... and the overlap with the umbrella makes it plainly editing. Outside of that reservation though, a much more intriguing image than most |

		| Hmmm... a bit too much burn for my taste. I like the concept of the image but the colors just aren't as appealing IMHO. |

		| Good composition and use of duotone, but blending of the dark umbrella panels and the dark background bothers me (and no, it's not my monitor, it's calibrated) |

		| this looks verry good but that black part of it is weird and I don't understand it's purpose other than to hide something. I think a 3x2 crop at the top even if you only keep half the umbrella would be much better. |

		| Great perspective, toning and subject matter. Hard vignetting works well, but it is strange that only three corners are covered by this. 8 |

		| Beautiful image and nicely toned.  The figure in the back is a nice touch and well composed.  I do think the halo effect, especially around the bottom, is a bit overdone. |

		| I'm gonna say this is Jason's... if i'm wrong... well then that's just humiliating. Great shot nonetheless (even if you aren't jason) --- great tones and great dodging and burning. |

		| Very cool. Love the rich darkness. The contrast on the umbrella and the guy's hat and clothes is nice. Interesting perspective makes you take a second look. |
