Just about the most perfect umbrella shot I have ever seen.  Great stuff.

Superb image, I like the way you interpreted the rain very much.

 Bill is right, this is an absolutely superb image. If you have a few moments, please explain how you processed it to get the spectacular end result you obtained.
