Driving Rain

Good idea and take on the challenge. It probably lacks enough "wow" factor to crack the top 20 but it's a good piece of work.

Left out in the rain!

At least (for once) it wasn't her best shoes :) Nice work

Raindrop crown on garden pond

That's pretty cool really. I originally thought it too underexposed but I tend to think that it's more the on-cameraa flash that's flattening it rather than the exposure

After the rain, comes freedom
by erainman

Comment:
This imaghe has some really good light values and elements. There's a lot in this picture, much of it in conflict. Collectively they actually deduct from parts of it that are really powerful. The rain has stopped. The "freedom" is presumably the bird (which is out of focus). The sculpture is stunning but the background jetty and buildings take away its shape. The people , the flagstones and their relationship to the iron sculpture are really strong but become lost in the rest iof it. I'd love to see this as a study from an angle that loses the background dtructures

No Flying in the Rain

Comment:
Great capture! That one wouldn't have been easy. Composing (if you had the time) with the fly on the left vertical thrids line would have given an even greater feeling of little fly on big empty space and added even more to the impact. Good work.

Simple pleasure!

Like the composition a lot. It's a shame it didn't come out as sharp as you'd hoped. Do you know about having to sharpen after you reduce it to 640x

Powerful hi contrast image which accentuates the bleakness of a rainy day. Nice work

SUDESTADA

Great composition, good sharpness and fine tones of light on the skin ... all while keeping detail in the sky. Very good. I usually mark nudity harshly, not this time

Even though the rain has been there, I don't see it in the image and so feel Im missing that in this pic and can't mark it as high as I would in a different challenge.
