 Colourful umbrellas on sale

Update:

I'm not doing terribly well... again! My editing / post-processing leaves a lot desired. I think I have to bite the bullet and buy PS.

Thanks for the great comments though - the score is hovering just over 5.6 at the moment

So I guess I can't really complain. Could've improved the colours, but I'm such a novice at photo editing!

Hmm. This has to be the first instance when the score has actually climbed up.. *fingers crossed*

Fun shot, waaaaaaay to oversaturated. I think this would have held up without boosting the color to such an extreme.

Really cool scene - perfect for this challenge of course. I don't care for your angle. I think a straight-on shot would have been better so you didn't cut off the front umbrella. You could have cropped out the busyness on the right side so we focus on your subject more.

What a selection, these designs grab my eyes and yank them out of their sockets! A fascinating street shot.

What beautiful fabric designs. I like the idea very much and like that you incorporated the vendor into the shot. Maybe could have been even stronger left section (starting with the lay's chip stand) was excluded from the photo.

The colors seem a bit over saturated.

cropping the left off at the edge of the upright umbrella would have put more focus on the brollies and owner IMHO
