May's rain

Good idea again and I like the concept. It works very well. Masterfully managed and presented.

gone in the rain.... excellent idea, brava, and very well done, the 180° rotation gives a nice feeling

Interesting shot delivered with with style and aplomb. Congratulations to you.

I like the mirror effect here, it is very creative and enhancing the energy behind this atmosphere of this capture and connecting it so well with the viewers.

Thank you for sharing it my friend and wishing you all of the best.

Beautiful shot,very well composed and processed

excellent reflections treatment!

A very creative image.Beautiful!

Svetlana, i really like the color and the light in this. 

When the weather turns inclement, many photographers put away their cameras, afraid to get them wet and only thinking they can take good photos when it's not raining.

Just the opposite.

Some of the best photos ever have been taken in the wonderful light with reflections that come with rainfall.

Giuseppe Pasquale, a year or so ago, showed us here how to take a photo of a reflection, then invert it 180 degrees, and show it to its best -- he did it with churches and/or cathedrals.

You have done it with pedestrians . . . and with raindrops and footsteps which make the reflective surface not perfect, all the better for the more artistic effect that suits you so well.

I am reminded of the photo, mostly in red/orange taken in winter though a frosted window up high -- really artistic work.

I said then if you regularly could produce such work, you would have amazing potential as an 'artist' with a camera, not just as a photographer and your work might be worthy of exhibit and sales as 'fine art'

This tends to show I was correct, and a view of ALL your recent work suggests you have strength in more than one genre, a mark of a true photographer, rather than an 'image editing genius'.

And although I don't know your degree of Photoshopping expertise, a view of the work you exhibit here suggests it's mostly 'pure' photography, with some workup here and there, but mostly entirely taken through the lens and merely 'adjusted' in image editing such as Photoshop.

In my book, that's my highest compliment -- that you can take 'a photo' of just about anything at almost any time and make it look worthy.

Well done.

This is a real reflection of the asphalt. I used Photoshop for color correction only.
