For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Very nice work. I don't think the bottles at the bottom are distracting at all. In fact, I was so enraptured in looking at the umbrellas and sunset and water...I didn't even notice the bottles initially.
I like this idea... the umbrellas are folded and saluting the sunset, waiting for a new day to begin... I like that you caught the sun between them too...
