the use of color is great (the balance of blues)

interesting DOF. was this enhanced in post processing? what's your EXIF data for this one? It's interesting that her back is in focus yet her feet which aren't on that different a plane are totally blurred.

Beautiful image! Is that taken with an open aperture to create that focus, or did you do it on pc after the shot was taken?

telephoto lens. but it was a candid shot and i didnt have time to switch to a prime lens, so i cheated afterwards. it looks fake now and i kinda hate it, but you guys seem to like it

There is something about this that I'm in love with. I don't think you should move it to scraps. I love the simplicity and I love how my eyes are drawn to everything instead of just one particular point...if that makes any sense...

the absolute thing a pessimist could do, open an umbrella when it's not even raining. fantastic.

I don't think you need to move this into scraps. I like the striking shape that the colours are in, and the background is pretty nifty, too!

Boring is made beautiful here.
The composition is lovely, especially since it's not too busy. The blurring of the cityscape to bring the blue bench (and it's occupant) into focus works nicely. The colour, while drawing the eye in, doesn't overpower the picture, nor does it seem out of place. It leaves me with a sense of..."trying". As if, whoever painted that bench was making a genuine effort to cheer up the neighborhood, and the owner of the blue umbrella has been affected. Which is another thing, the symmetry in colours works, as well as the almost-neutral colours she wears.
However, the part which I found worked the best was the blurring of the righthand corner of the umbrella, to keep it away from the edge of the photograph. It holds off any tension that could've been created between the umbrella and the side of the piece. The one thing I might suggest is to bring the blurring down a bit closer to the top of the bench, if only a little, so as to keep it from being a distraction.
Overall, though (fancy critique talk aside) I like it!

I love the blues and how one of the windows in the distance is actually more clear than the others. It's kind of like this is what is being viewed and the things in focus are what she is focusing on.

I love the matching blues. Like everyone's been saying, the only thing wrong would be the blur underneath the bench...otherwise it's perfect!

The blue color kinda signifies a depressing rainny day.

the colors are really vibrant but the cut between the bench and the rocks is pretty sketchy. nice work anyway.
