The Umbrella Maker

Marc, did you tripod that bad-boy, or did you hand hold it?

Interesting photograph, btw. I like how the one buy is sitting back, quietly doing his work, while the other guy is up front, yapping at you...

Ken: it was handheld

A very interesting, well executed photo. Suggestion: Print it 1 to 2 filter numbers less contrasty achieving the same white extreme and reduced blackness and see which version you prefer after living with them for a period of time and see which version seems to most effect others so lucky as to see this image.
