[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I saw this pink umbrella while going home from work today, and remembered our Scav Hunt. This colour combination seemed very unusual to me...I had no idea who the owner of these things was, they were left by the bench. He/she probably went into a nearby shop.

I decided to play a bit with the light in this shot, and make it more 'gloomy'...it seemed appropriate to me with the type of the textures around.

PP: tight crop, lots of colour adjustments (they are not changed though, brightess and saturation), auto levels (multiply), finally adding sepia and warming filter. I didn't sharpen the shot at all. Maybe it was a mistake, but I didn't like the way the textures looked after it.

very nice Marija - love the contrast of the colours/mood.

very well composed shot maria :)
beautiful tones and contrast

Excellent work Mare! I love the diagonal composition you achieved by rotating the photo, it's more powerful this way. PP work is also great, way to go!
Regards,
Robert

great shot. I love the colors and lighting. your post processing is very good. Everything looks dirty except for the umbrella. Very cool idea! JP

Nice composition, Marija! Maybe a bit edgy on the left side; I would have liked to see all of the bench leg. But the colours and light are just beautiful, and it creates a very moody picture. Nice job!

Hi Marija,
What an awesome catch, imagine finding something like this just like that! Great composition, the tilt is very effective and creates a strong impression here... Excellent job!

Hello Maria,

I haven't been here in a long time but I see you haven't procrastinated. Your photos have improved so much!!! I am hoping to get there some day.

On this photo, great work on the colors. The idea is great, too. An old bag (so it seems), a pink umbrella, many things could be said about the owner of these items. TFS, Jerome

Unusual angle and framing Maria. Pink really stands out here both against a strong geometry and coarse grains. Very creative.
Mukesh

WOW, Marija, Really wonderfull shot you capture! Full of mood, Fantastic framing! I really love the way of your look to such ordinary subject. VERY WELL DONE. Accept my huge congratulations!

Hi Marija, you have sutch a moody pictures. Love diagonal compo and 'rusty' look. Great job!

I always find umbrellas make interesting subjects. Nice composition although a bit more space on the left would be good. The dirty colours from the result of the post processing is good. It adds to the mood. Very nice shot.

Hi Marija,
a lovely romantic motive for the hunt. I like this challenge, everybody is so creative and full of phantasie. Thanks and bye

You did good work Marija...I like the play with light...nice composition...only pink...I don't like the colour ;-)

Jos

moody... moody... moody.... beautiful work one the colors!

Hi Marija,
Very nice mood in your pic, your PP is well done :) I like the diagonal compositio here and all these textures. Good capture for the Hunt :)
TFS,
Martine

marija,
it looks like someone has forgotten them there and pink is resisting that idea:-)
great compo ,such a different and effective POV.
regards

Nice job creating the diagonals, Marija! I love pink, and I love the colors you've created here - they go together so well! Just perfect for the hunt! Can't believe you just stumbled across this! It's great!

Gayle :)

Very nice scene you have captured, Marija. I agree with those that have commented that the crop is a bit tight on the left - needs a bit more space to breath a bit. I don't only like the umbrella but the bag beside it as it gives the whole scene an abandonned look that go well with your treatement. Well done!

Hello,Marija! Nice compo! I guess that those personal things belong to a woman!...You image is worthed a thousands words! We can imagine all kind os stories just looking at it! Very well done! Michel

On those dark elements around it look like almost illuminated! That nice! Congratulation for that original presentation!

BINGO!!! THIS IS ONE AMAZINGLY COMPOSED SHOT Marija... :D... EXCELLENT!!! :D.. AM GLUED.. :D...

Loads of Love & A BIG HUG,
Hima.

* Straight to my Favs. :D

Hi Marija,

I don't think it needs sharpening at all. The shot has a great grimy feel to it and I like what you've done with the colours. Strong diagonal composition as well, which was already there with the lean on the umbrella, but I think the choice to rotate was the right one :)

Those scav hunts really make you keep an eye out for stuff, eh? :)

Cheers,
Dennis..

Your composition is so great Marija. I like your diagonal composition. And the way you crop it on upper side of the bench. And like your PP work too, gives a nice mood to shot. Great one..

Hi Marija!

I must admit that this is one of the best photos I've seen on TL.

Colours, angle and perspective are just perfect!
Keep on your awesome work!

Srdacan pozdrav, Marin.

Hello Marija... When I see the composition, it impresses me... The pink is so beautiful in it... It makes the mood strong... I do like the vertical framing...

Excellent composition. You have seen a photograph where most people would notice nothing. The touch of pink has given it a sense of drama. Terrific PP work.
