Red Umbrella - White Water


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Red Umbrella - White Water
Red Umbrella - White Water
This river has come up quite a bit in the last couple of days. The highest I have seen it for a long while.
Get used to seeing this umbrella as it will be making a few appearances this week.

  Is this river up in the mountains and you have to go along an unsealed road to get there? Love seeing a fast running water. Last time was when we (Margaret & I)were up at Armidale and going east over the mountain. Paul love your image a great capture

  Paul you have a way with things, that umbrella will be sorely missed when it is no longer here, but I feel sure that at least one more time after it quits appearing that we will see it again one more time.

  Love the open umbrella, red/white against the green. The composition is wonderful, you did a really great job on this...it's obvious a lot of thought went into the composition. Well done!

  This is a very cool series, Paul! I forget her name, but there was a photographer who did shoes. That is, she took many shoes (all of which were interesting in themselves) around the world, photographing them in all sorts of strange locales. I have always remembered her book and wondered what else might be used for such a series. I think you have found one such item! The concept is outstanding and so are your results! I can picture your book: "The Red and White Umbrella"? Excellent work and this one, like the others, is superb!

  You should have a contest to see where or how the umbrella will show up next, Paul!! I am going to guess that sooner or later we may see it being held by someone :-)? Terrifice series and this one really jumps out at you!!
Much Aloha,
Stan
