Raining Umbrellas in Insa Dong, a photo from Seoul, North

Photographer's Note

Insadong is filled with Korean culture. The streets are lined with traditional tea shops, art galleries, antique shops and great restaurants. On Sunday the main street is closed off to traffic and open to street performers and food stalls. This is from one of the art galleries.

Wicked shot, Ben. This will probably work well in B&W too, but leaving it in colour shows the concept behind this artist's intentions with the cloud effect. Regards...

Hey Ben,

This is a great shot! The composition is excellent with a prominent foreground feature. One of those shots I'd never think of, but this has worked very well.

Take care,

Don
