Happy in the rain...?!

I like the juxtaposition of this picture, the young forgetting how to be kids, and the old realizing how to be young. Just as a thought beyond the picture itself, have you played around in "photo editing software of your choice" with this? Maybe make everything except the rain-lady B&W.

There's always a style in your photos that makes them unmistakably yours! I like this scene a lot, both for the main character in the foreground and for the women in the background, each one different from the others and with her own peculiarities. Interesting and captivating indeed! All the best!

nicely taken, Ruud!

Weer een mooie straatopname

I suppose it could be snow?  No sense being upset by a little rain.

nice catch

Ondanks de regen toch een hele gezellige foto, maar ik hou van regen,lol.

Well composed capture,great timing.

very rainy, very nice. everyone as the tipical "rainface"

6 females, 5 dry, one wett... 

A so made man will be always happy! I'm sure!

100% Nederland.

(-:

It's already pretty much perfect but you might consider a crop with only the left three watchers. (just to see if it works out)

All the best, Matthijs.

Nice capture. Was she singing in the rain?

The only one happy is the one who has accepted her fate and made the best of it.  An existentially happy photo.

I love this, the "happy" persons excellent demeanour just doesn't seem to have rubbed off on the people in the bus shelter, which makes it all the more compulsive to view!

Great Shot!

Ruud, she looks like she's having a great time. The five in the shelter look dour. Great image.

Title well match your capture...

many thanks for your visits, nice comments and compliments!

Fanjan: I'm using iPhoto and Aperture...

With best regards / hartelijke groeten,

Ruud.

This is one of the most critically captured street sense I came across because of its climatical condition, bravo my friend, your camera never fail to bring the best out of the street ( touch wood ).

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

Love it!  Well done, Margo.

You have captured something about humanity, that could possibly be used in a sociology class. This woman, playing in the rain, is also the ony one prepared for the weather, wearing a full rain cape and hat. I noticed that the other people aren't even wearing hats. She is the only one smiling, and the people under the bus shelter are doing their best to ignore her. I have been observing people on the street. So many people ignore others, but you didn't. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Interesting rainy ghost! :-)

Bravo, bravo! So well composed happening on that rain, Ruud you are the master!

Warm regards!
