Umbrella

You have captured some nice texture in the fabric of the umbrella. Interesting

Hi Robert,
You've mentioned in the Photo details that you are finally seeing the light rather than the thing. I was advised one time time to keep looking at the subject and use the light as a tool to express my interpretation of that subject. In Black and White, you really only have two things to work with -- the subject and the light.
I like this photo -- the upper left corner draws your attention to the decoration detail. Keeping the lower right dark helps support the attention draw.
I think you have a second photo here too -- try cropping the right and lower part of the photo out putting the circle in the lower right corner of the image.
Good stuff!
Bill
