Arletta
Hmm.. you’d help it with me, as I LOVE rain! So long as it doesn’t wash my house away or anything dreadful like that, anyway.
Also, I love this I love the way the walking figure looks as equally made of rain puddles and rain drops and mist as does the rest of the world … except for the trees. It’s gorgeous and elemental and … and … I love it!

Beautiful, beautiful : )
Birgitta
I want you to know, that I was sitting there yesterday, at the “Immediate Care Center”,
(like a hospital), with a 4 day migraine..tears streaming down my face in chronic pain-
felt like I was going out of my head with pain!! and all I could think about was this photo.
Yep. It’s true! Then they gave me a shot and everything got warm & fuzzy….heheh.
(much like this image) This is top notch work..and among the top 5 here on my list.
Love it.
Cvail73 replied
Wow! Thank you so much Birgitta, I am so flattered! I have always had a huge soft spot for your own work, and I am very very glad that at last you are back, I have missed your posts! :)
I hope you are alright and that you weren’t in hospital for anything too serious…

This is Fantastic work!! I love what you’ve done with it!!
(and I love the comment on my Daisy’s Curtain Call….thank you!)
Cvail73 replied
Thanks! Your photo has a great composition and Daisy is so expressive :)))
I hardly did anything with the photos, mainly the lighting at the bottom of the concrete wall, the pattern of the trees due to the architects, and night made that I had to switch to high ISO and be stable at 1/6s – yes I know, I should have been a surgeon ;)—he he he!
Mind you, to my credit,I waited for ages under the rain (got a cold from it) for somebody to pass at this exact place with a brolley….
Noel Elliot
This is special
Nancy Polanski
Were you behind glass? It looks like there’s a reflection and I like what it does to the picture. The more I look at this, the more I LOVE it!
Cvail73
No no, I was fully exposed to the rain (no shelter, just leaned on an electric pole, it’s the movement of the person, at 1/6s you capture quite a lot of movement, including the rain ;)
Rosy Kueng
Absolutely stunning! It looks really special…Congratulations on your feature of this week!!!! Well deserved…
