the red umbrella

staring out my office window into the snowstorm this morning i had a Michael Elliott moment as a lone pedestrian with a red umbrella crossed the street ...

for obvious reasons, this one could not be converted to black and white :)

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous!

[Bill Fenske]

Excellent!

[Maggiemae]

That street looks rather difficult to cross! How right to have a red umbrella for this shot!

[Dawn Reilly]

Wow! Looks like a painting!

[☠northy]

@maggiemae ha! we do it all the time... starbucks is right across the street :)

[Vijay]

Fabulous composition ... like those streaks and the pop of color!!

[Karen H]

between the lines and the red.... fav

[KWind]

Great pop of red. I like the lines of the road!

[Joanne Diochon]

You could do black and white with selective colour on just the umbrella, but I kind of like the varying tones of grey and beige.

[Katie]

Well played.

Just think how much someone could make hiring themselves out to be the red umbrella in people's photos ...

[April Milani]
