...la pioggia...

an awesome composition, Tom... the drops in the puddle give us a sense of the drops falling on the people's umbrellas; creative presentation of a theme otherwise too often made too cliche and lifeless ;-} dp

i like the cramped compsoure with more space at the bottom than the top, leading to a feeling of restlessness akin to rain. A slight bit of motion blur on the first person's foot, the drops in the water, and the lead-in angle of the low point for draining etc, all lead to a very convincing photo.
