[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I found this colorful parasol displayed outside a clothing store in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. It almost seemed to represent the free-spirited atmosphere that this neighborhood is famous and/or infamous for.

PP: standard RAW adjustments, curves adjustments in lab color mode, resized with border, jpegged, sharpened.

Hi, Karen -
Great eye to spot and capture this very cool image. The sunlight brings out the warm colors without overpowering. The whimsical tilt of the parasol compliments the mood and adds a nice diagonal graphic. Very creative, nice work!

great sharpness and good framing,

thanks Karen,

Wonderful bright color, Karen, and the dark BG sets it off beautifully. Excellent exposure, superb detail and the tilt is especially nice. It looks like there was a slight breeze and I like the slight trace of movement you caught. The frame compliments it very well, too. Well done! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Very good POV, Karen

HI Karen,
I like these asian umbrellas so much, also have one - but not as pretty as this one.
I would have bought it - not only made a shot, haha. Thanks and greetings
