Very, very nice, Susan. Love the blur and neutral tones of everything except the parasol itself--and what a wonderful parasol it is. The oriental design works very well with the background, especially those grasses. Very effective use of negative space--brings this stroll alive for us.

Now that photo is gone so I am posting their comments here. Thank you Emily and Amalia :-)

  Wow! I just love this one, Susan!!! Wonderful editing and comp. I have a Japanese parasol that I've been wanting to use. This is just a great way to show off the design on it.
