KathyCalculates from Indianapolis, United States
My first impression was of the macabre...maybe it is the darkness of the trees in the back and the umbrella that comes off like a ghostly figure. Spookily done, Lorraine!

Very interesting composition, Lorraine. Something that has a bit of the spiritual attached.

@Viewfinder: Thanks very much Glenn, I think the light was special that day ;)
@jamesy: Thanks very much Deb ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
At first glance i thought the umbrella was a figure in hat and long robes, my imagination running away. :D

@JoeB: Oooo I like the interpretation, neat stuff, thanks a lot Joe :)

It is like one bird in different frames showing the wing movement. A lovely spot to spread your wings.
