The Yellow Umbrella

Uploaded: May 08, 2007

Description

Image taken yesterday...a few of my colleagues during fire drill excercise at work, after 38 days of dry weather, it finally did rain, which I emphasized by using the crosshatch effect and the SC.
Special thanks to Lieven for allowing me to submit this image! :)

Congrats on the PCA!It's a fun picture. #4735863

Nikki McDonald level-classic September 02, 2007

I just love this, Jenny. The original had dynamic potential and you realized that potential--in both senses of the word. I absolutely love the B&W with SC here; your selections are right on--not just that wonderful punch of yellow but also enough of the other more subdued foreground figures for balance. And I really like that you carried the B&W one step further by adding the crosshatch and further reducing the clarity of the background while retaining a definite sense of time and place. Great job and a deserving PCA winner. #4735864

And Kate...I suddenly realized that I didn't take this with my Canon 400D, but with my Canon Powershot S5, which is much smaller, so I could protect it from the rain. :) #4736834
