I know

I've seen this picture before and I do love the way they set it up, it's just that the result is so different that it may as well have been a random day, almost. It feels like they went 90% of the way and then just stopped

I'm not an art critic, I know nothing, this is just something I see

It's interesting because they went to some effort to get there shadows right, and possibly the sail boat, but not match simple things like umbrella colors.

Not bad, but I'd be interested to hear the story behind the choices!
