Spring Dripping

Original capture & post-processing - made it in "oldish" style to

highlight the rain.. Enjoy the rain :)

Hay Eleanne,

interesting formal landscaping.

Like your photo "Blossem loner", both landscape looks very much like the Dutch landscape where I live in.

If you would have said this in the Netherlands I would never have doubt that, funny.

Your choise of subject and seeing the easthetics of it are very nice, but maybe a little over saturated. That looks nice but in content maybe a little too sweet.

But hé, you are an eastern girl a lot of temperament, much more than we Duchies, so maybe I am missing your point of expression ;~)))

Yours, Mike

Thank you again Mike for such your comment! I appreciate such honest and critical points of view - it makes us, photographers, develop :)

When I took this shot, the weather was at the same time gray and very bright in several places.. Mostly the sunrays laid on the raindrops and were just a bit reflected on grass - quite a weird natural happening)) So, it was a bit hard to capture the real shadows and lights at the same time - I almost managed, but it turned out a bit grayish (except for the sky).. and I've remembered this scene like I interpreted it here - a magical still moment, drawn by the nature, drawn by the rain and sunlights - that's why I varied the colors a bit and added such small adjustment so it looked a bit like a painting - cause it really was a painted scene...

Me personally, I can look at this photo for hours and be lost in the rain... it's really a "natural unnatural" scene - so I tried to make it look like it really seemed... :)

Kindly, Eleanne

Could join you, if you have spare chair. Landscape scenery if poetic.

Yours, Mike
