From a photo I took in Santa Fe. I loved the orange glow cast on the folks hanging out under the umbrella, as well as the brilliant southwestern light on the figures who were partially underneath. I wonder what they were waiting for?

 "Great composition. Lights and dark masses keep our eyes moving, letting the bright orange umbrella take center stage. I love the playfulness of the dappled light and the human interaction as they comfortably gather under the umbrella for shade. A fun piece."
