Interesting editorial concept. I think you might have way too much color going on. Perhaps an umbrella that is more atonal, I like the bright color, but there is alot to look at.
I really like the idea here.. I personally would have liked this better without the trash and maybe a woman's hand holding that pretty pink umbrella. :P 7
i love the umbrella and the globe and the title - that all works for me very well. but i really don't understand the cans in this shot - they don't seem to fit this particular image (yes I understand the umbrella is keeping the dirt away- but it doesn't seem to connect it for me)
