A super image. I might try a square crop, I think.
Best wishes,

I think it's a belter too, what bother me though is the bottom pavement is sloping up to the left, I think a little work with the skew tool would work wonders, as it is it just looks a little odd.
Andrews suggestion of a square crop might help concentrate the eye on the brolly more, not that it needs it.

Its got everything, graphics, colour, design...and humour. A pro photographer doing a commercial shoot would spend ages trying to set up something like this. I agree that it might be even better with a slight trim from both sides to get rid of dead space.

Thank you for the positive comments folks, sometimes things just come together. I must admit though this was a staged shot, had the idea for a while and the props and weather co-operated this time, although I think more rain would have helped.
