"Umbrellas of Casa Rio" captures the timeless charm of San Antonio’s River Walk, even in the quiet of winter. While many associate this spot with the warmth and liveliness of summer, I wanted to showcase its beauty during the cooler months. The vibrant umbrellas stand out even more against the crisp, subdued tones of the season, creating a striking contrast with the bare branches and the gentle reflections on the river. When composing this shot, I focused on leading the viewer’s eye along the curve of the water, allowing the interplay of color, light, and texture to tell the story. The soft winter light adds a different kind of warmth to the scene, highlighting the inviting nature of this historic location. This photograph is a reminder that even in the off-season, the spirit of the River Walk remains alive and beautiful.
