Best of luck with all your homework, Tae! I'm suddenly super glad I no longer have to do schoolwork ^^;

Kathi, your picture is simply stunning. Composition, colourwork, everything is simply amazing. In fact, the only criticism I can give is that the picture needs to be bigger!! Get me a version that's not as shruken down ;A;

To be honest, I agree with your assessment in that a dark blue dusk background would help the picture pop, but I'm also not sure if it might overcomplicate the picture or not, and the effect it might have on the umbrella. Hmm. Buns?

But really, stunning work. I'm so jealous. *steals*
