Two experts in timing and balance.  The guy tossing the net so skillfully from a precarious perch and the one behind the camera capturing just the right moment in time and balancing the light and composition.  The one with the camera definitely caught a keeper; I hope the one with the net got some keepers, too.

I love the connection of the two central characters to each other and their connection to the environment and their current situation. It seems more "accepting" than stoic. They are not fighting it or enduring it. "It is what it is" and so just enjoy it.

Terrific image. It captures a mood well and captures the overwhelming amount of rain.

Reminds me of Woodstock photos from my youth.

And thank you for inducing a fine memory from my college days 3 decades ago - in such a downpour a friend appeared on my porch looking like a drowned rat and said when I answered the door, "I'm running away from home, do you want to go with me?" My first thought was that he had suddenly gone crazy. My second thought was "Why the hell not?" and walked out into the deluge with him. We walked and laughed for an hour and saw our little college down in a very different light. It was a fine time I will never forget. Thank you Mircea for the memory.
