This is a spectacle of colors, shapes and sizes, also a collection of items. It's rather dizzy, busy to look at but very creative. Good luck in the contest..

    Yes, the whole shop/cafe was decorated with multitudes of items with the primary displays being umbrellas. There was definitely a lot to see and photograph. Thank you for the review.

This caused some retinal damage when I opened it. A riot of colour and an ideal entry for the contest. I think you should do well. I'm gonna go rest my eyes now.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Sorry, but I do not understand your title?! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that mass of colourful items in that fascinating shop. Well done and good luck!

    Thank you for the review Nik. The title is a kind of a joke. There's an old wives tale about bad luck if you open an umbrella inside of a house or building. This umbrella shop decided to throw caution to the wind and display dozens of open umbrellas. As we were walking through the shop, my friend asked about the bad luck and the shop keeper said "luck be damned, I make my own luck".

An impressive photograph of colourful umbrellas in a shop!! The framing is thoughtfully executed, and the balance of light, shadows, and colours enhances the overall composition. Good luck!

A very interesting and creative visual presented here. This looks like tapestry of some sort. Composition shades, tones colours and presentation is extremely well done. Thank you for sharing.

    This cute umbrella shop had them hanging everywhere as decorations as well as selling an array of colors and sizes for actual use. Thank you for your review.

Interesting capture. The clarity is good. The angle of the upward shot of these different umbrellas on the ceiling is good. The capture of the light is good. The presentation is balanced and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and good job overall
