[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A cityguide in Aachen puts an umbrella in the air as a sign to follow him. Normally not an original idea, but with a bit of postprocessing the picture has more depth in my opinion. Please, tell me what you think!

Perry,

I think it's a great idea
though i feel the 'dark/side is toom uch heren
Perhaps a lighter colour canvas end a little highlighting in the bw ?

Love the idea though, far out dude !

hi perry.

unique and captivating. i like the POV, with a long vertical presentation + selective desat and obviously red will always be an attractive colour.

unfortunately, underappreciated.

This is a great concept, Perry. I like the use of color isolated to just the umbrella. The overall dark tone of the image evokes a somber mood that would be absent if the image were brighter. Personally, I like the somber mood in this one. I do feel the image would be stronger if the upper half were just a bit brighter. This might help balance the tones across the entire image.

TFS and regards,
Randy
