A beautiful image! Love the composition. And the editing is just perfect. I can imagine myself watching her, thinking the same thing. Great capture!

This is a little surreal looking image. I thought I was opening a painting. Then it looked like you superimposed the woman and her umbrella onto a photograph. I certainly love the composition, the emotion of the shot and the serene color scheme. You know I a m a great fan of your work so please do not take offence but here it somehow looks Like you HDRed just your subject and you overdid it, or that you glued a painting of the lady onto a photo. It just seems an unreal picture. Is it perhaps that the tone mapping and sharpening has done that?

    Thank you very much for the review. It is the post processing making it look like almost a painting. I understand your objections even if I don't agree

Outstanding. A unusual photo, I think, but perfect taken and framed and with a great story to tell. Surely this picture says more than a million words.

Very unique photo.
Clarity is great, colors are crisp, the blue umbrella really is a great accent.
Like that she is not centered, nice use of thirds.
Great pov.

Tremendous impact imagery, your subject, situated off to the left is surrounded by highly motivating contrasting colors. I say motivating because this is fun to look at. Classic in style and should be hung in a gallery for the world to see. Im not just blowing smoke up your ass, I like this and respect this.
