Rain Falling (Original)
I was asked what the original photograph of Rain Falling (before I made it a black and white) looked like and decided to post it. Hope you enjoy.

Very moody! It must have been throwing it down from the look of the rain on the lake. I had a similar day a couple of months ago. It was actually a great time to take photos. Like this and the black and white one.

it’s that kind of place: rain or shine.

Excellent. I love your dark style. It is a beautiful image.

Very nice. I like this probably more than the black and white! Thanks for sharing!
Mary Ann Reilly replied
thanks for asking:)

Lovely pic very dark and moody. I too prefer the pic in this color. The print color looks like a B & W print made on platinum or high bromide paper print with its slight green or bluish color.
One of my favorite pics of yours
Mary Ann Reilly replied
Thanks Andy. I am considering entering a landscape in a show and I think this may be the one. Appreciate your comments.

Considering the amount of rain that has been falling around here and is in fact falling as I write…I am nonetheless drawn to this – it is sublime piece. And Congrats!

Brilliant mood you’ve captured here!

Its unrelentingly gloomy, but I love it for this very reason.

This is fantastic, Mary! I would really like it if you resubmit this piece to Color Me a Rainbow during the black round. I think it is more suited for that round and I’m pretty sure it will be featured. ;-)
