 Ok so not very creative idea but I wanted to enter something, so here it is! The top corners are a little blue, hopefully not too noticeable now. Also the gloves are kind of out of place haha oh well. I took this while standing on my diving board looking towards my yard covered in snow.

I had this old umbrella and a black one, but this is more interesting so I went with it. I think it's kind of ugly, there are flowers on it but they look more like pandas. Thanks to my girlfriend Rachel for crouching down for so long, so that the background was all snow.

RAW, curves, levels, crop, USM, add border.

Her skin is very heavy on yellow and not enough magenta, and also a little bit hot in places. The hand is chopped off, and not digging her expression. Nice otherwise! 6

Pretty umbrella makes a lovely foil for a pretty girl.

Feels like a studio shot (very good lighting and technicals) but lacks some context for the outfit and umbrella.
