  1. Hi! I’m concerned about the umbrella, appearing to be much closer than the people. Is it an illusion? The stand arm of the umbrella might look closer to the people if it showed infront of the umbrella instead of behind. The stand is much lower on the picture plane which give it the appearance of being leaning closer.
