Umbrellas Of Verona

I just love the muted but colorful tones on this shot taken through a wet bus window. Hope you like it too.

This reminded me of a Renoir painting, The Umbrellas

    So cool! Love the raindrop effect- really drives home the feeling of a rainshower- and the swirling colours of the umbies is pure magic!!

  • Al Bourassa replied

    Many thanks Janene. I was thrilled with the result of this hurried shot.

    Brilliant capture! Excellent composition! The subdued colors are magnificent!
    This reminds me of a Quebec artist by the name of Theberge. He uses umbrellas and raindrops a lot in his images!

    al,
    really super idea to capture this shot..Too often we put our cameras down when it rains this hard.
