    Umbrellas Walk in the Garden

    This picture was taken on a very rainy day at the Butchart Garden in British Columbia CA. The day I visited the garden it began to rain heavily and I was directed to an area to borrow an umbrella to take the garden stroll in the rain. I look down from an elevated area I was standing on and noticed these guys walking in unison with their umbrellas up.Umbrellas Walk in the Garden

    Fabulous composition! All of the colors and clothing work really well together. I would strongly consider removing the sign in the grass.

    Beautiful. The soft colours go nicely with the mood. Great leading lines with the rock edging and pathway.

    Nice, after taking this shot I probably would have followed them around for awhile; hoping to get another shot from a lower angle.

    Hi Nina Marie,

    I agree with all of the above but…
    The lack of micro-contrast is a consequence of two things:
    • slight over exposition
    • a blue overcast that may be corrected with a proper white balance.
