comes the rain, the wind will follow

truly, the calm before the storm... this umbrella was toast only

moments after this shot as a powerful gale whipped up!

The composition in this picture is really good and i admire the silver effect the entire picture has with the colors.

This is a nice portrait...I really like the combination of elements...nicely composed and nice job on the PPing. This image has a lot of character and alludes to a story waiting to be told. Nicely captured.

Hi Frederick, excellent shot... and great "pose" too. Congratulations ;-)

Too much elegant work, my friend!....Ciaomau!

Excellent image! Beautiful model, beautiful dress and a very nice accessory. It's great that you've used the Umbrella to frame her upper body - remarkable composition. The colors are beautiful as well. I'm curious though, is this an HDR shot?
