This photo was a bit of a happy accident. My son and I were at Legoland, CA, enjoying a water ride when we found we were gonna get wet! As it turns out, we didn't really get that wet - it was mostly mist - but the film grain (Photoshop Add Noise) seems to make it look wetter than it really is.

I don't know how this one will do - I've not been doing well with my submissions as of late. Time will tell...

The child is having fun.. colour could bring that out even more.
Still... it is a nice picture.. therefore good grading.

Strong shot - though I lament the lack of a touch more environment - a sense of what the hell's going on would, I think, help; where you have simply a portrait - a well done, well toned, great contrast portrait however. I can see the rain, and a sense of steaminess/fogginess behind, but only s sense. Black and white works well, especially in the cpature of that reflected light around his face, but the half-silhouette, and his weak position in frame detract somewhat from great-shot potential. It looks like full frame, so even some juducious cropping might have helped a touch - if it's going to b e a portrait, really force the attention to the subject, huh? Pretty good work, though, for all those points.

Nice photo, but without the title, I'd never guess that this image had anything to do with the concept of "too late"
