this is very very good I luv it, at first I though that light might be a bit too wide and the line at the top was too straight going across but its alright I guess, the umbrellas are very well done, nice 1 author.

The spotlight below is square, so I followed its shape. Thank you

I don't think the the light spot would be that square on that distance. I think it would be more round. And maybe blur the light area. Looks a little too sharp. But! I like the image a lot. The umbrellas are very nicely done. Looks very real... Keep up the good work...

Here it is, a little rounder and blurrier. thank you.
All entries loose quite a bit of resolution when submitted, I added a higher res file, hope it comes thru.

looks great, the only thing i see odd is the light on the water
(1 year and 81 days ago)

author:

Well freejay, water being very reflective, I thought it would reflect other lights from outside the image, and if it was too dark you could not see the umbrellas so well.
And I thought it was important to see the umbrellas. I thought the sky was becoming blue again, after a big storm.

perhaps lacking a bit of contrast, I think at least if the highlights were brightened that image would have had more overall impact.

Claudiolky [lvl 41] [vp 1000] [ 90]:

lack of perspective at the image against the bridge

vicspa [lvl 33] [vp 1000] [ 16]:

I agree with the contrast part, it does need some highlights.

Might help if the women were a bit more transparant assuming that they are the lost souls you refer to in the title of your entry
