It's unanimous - not only here but at photo.net as well - the fan has to go!... and I certainly agree after thinking and looking some more.
So here are TWO more versions -- one with the background dropped out to black, and another the same except further manipulated to add one more umbrella.
Steve how do you live so close to me and continue to get these great shots that I hav'nt even thought of getting.Great work , PS I got another editors choice , Holding up the standards here in AA county. Try this Picture again and clone out the fan . It will look like a straight down shot , I think it will show more emotional appeal.
Steve, Great eye for color and positioning of the umbrellas. Would it be possible to go back to the ceiling and reshoot to remove the fan and simply the photo. All black and the color would make a superb image. K
