| Great shot... I like your selective colour, and in a way, i think its cute to see all those people with their umbrellas. |

| Great idea to leave colour only in the people. I think including less foreground and a touch more sky above the dome would make the image more dynamic. |

| That's a lot of people on the bridge. It's a great scene, would love to see it for myself one day. Not sure I like the selective desaturation though. |

| Hard to tell if everything is just very dreary in color or if you post-processed it that way, but this is an excellent photo! I love how the umbrellas really pop out at you! 9 |

| I've been in Venice during the rains ... not a lot of fun but you've made the most of it with this photo. An interesting perspective and the umbrella crowd is interesting. |

| good editing with all the colored umbrellas. just the bw part of the picture could benefit from a bit more contrast. |

| Composition is rather off balance. The color treatment is effective. |

| This is an interesting shot, and I understand the desat, but this would work better if it was sharper |

| Great idea and well framed. Maybe a little more saturation in the colors would give more impact. |

| Ooo I love that you left all of the umbrellas in color. Very nice perspective. The rest is a little flat but it has lots of interest and a great story. |

It was a phenomenon like no other, and the people of the world reacted to it in an unusual manner. For when the color began to seep from their world, and it became as grey scaled as the photographs from a bygone era had pretended the world had been, it had caused a bit of a panic. Yet there remained in the world one thing that would not turn grey or black or white. Around the world, one thing remained full of color and reminded us of what the world had once been filled with.
Around the world, once this knowledge was made clear, the people gathered with these items, the umbrella, the bumbershoot, the Brolly, the Parasol. They gathered and brought them together, in groups and crowds. On bridges, in parks, on building tops, in squares, the world over. They brought them together and packed them in, attempting in some strange superstitious manner, to bring color back into the world through sheer force of will.
Yet in the end, all they were left with were these things, and the small amount of color that they brought, and no amount of desire would expand the color from them to the world again.
So it was, and so it remained, and the umbrella grew to a status of reverence and memory and was ever worshiped. |
