Haven't posted on PF in ages... Haven't been photographing much either, time to pick it up again!

I'd love to have some critique on this shot, since I'm quite proud of it. Saw the umbrellas rise, turned around, brought the camera to my eye whilst guessing focus and SNAP! It just became exactly what I had in mind, without much putting much conscious effort in it. Love it when that happens

Processing was done with Nik Silver Efex 2, I tried to keep it fairly neutral but contrasty still. OH, ISO was 640 actually, but I can't select that here. Not that you see the difference on a K-5 anyway

EDIT: Now why is the photo not appearing in this post, but in the thread overview the thumbnail does?

Must be at your end, I'm seeing it fine within thread/post, interesting "wet" shot.

Interesting pic, indeed. Gives off a certain film mood. TFS.

I like it very much.
If it was mine, I'd clone out the two bright ovals at upper right and probably the rather distinct circular shape almost half way in from the left near the top of the image (not the less distinct circular shape to the right of the more distinct one.)

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I've never cloned/edited image data in such a way, I've been more 'just a developer'. I guess I (learned to) live with my mistakes. But it's a great suggestion and I will definitely try it out before I have this one printed! As far as printing goes, I'm thinking brushed aluminum, no base coat. Might add to the mood.
