Fabulous photo...I like the posture of the boy, the effect of the water coming off the umbrella is wonderful....this photo has a very realistic quality to it....I can almost 'hear' the water as it pours down. Great job!
This is such a great photo. Although there may be many children playing, the background is perfectly neutral as none of them can be seen. The positions of the boy and umbrella are perfect and the weight of the water can be seen, almost felt! I also like very much the fact that the boy has his back to the camera. Very cool shot!
My comment may or may not be valid depending on if this is a rainstorm or a fountain. If it's a fountain, I wish I could see some of the bursts of water from the ground on the way up. That might not be possible though in terms of also getting it while it's crashing down on him.
Forcing a little boy into the rain with a bad umbrella, shame on you. ;) This is an excellent picture in my opinion. I love how the boy is tilted to the left sort of scrunched over fighting the weight of the rain and and the coldness of the water. 10.
This is my vote for best photo of the week. I keep coming back and looking at this, its one of those photographs that stays with you long after you close the window.
I like it! Simple, uncluttered, well lit, soft, and wet. What could improve it? That's a tough one. Perhaps dressing the boy in a rain suit or something akin to "Singing in the Rain." Very well done!
in my very humble opinion, this is the best shot that i've seen on dpchallenge since its inception. perfect. you should be very proud of it. i'd love to see it in black and white just for kicks, but it's just fine in color. great job.
Wow, I like this one. Doesn't look like the umbrella was much help. I don't see anything I could suggest to improve this shot. Well done! Keep up the good work! Photo 10 Creativity 9 People 9 total 9
That's quite a bit of rain! I'd prefer to see the front of him instead of the back. That or give some hint that he would be walking away. Just standing doesn't do much for me. Otherwise you did a great job on the framing and chosen angle.
This is a most excellent photograph... I LOVE IT! Is this in a fountain or is it actual rain> The water patterns on teh pavement seem like they are quite uneven... either way, you get a 10 this week for creativity and composition... Kudos!
Awesome shot. You need to enter this into the rain competition on www.photoblink.com if you haven't already! Other than the strap of the umbrella (and even that is very nitpicky, and could be cloned out outside of dpchallenge), I have no suggestions for improvements.
I generally not a fan of photos showing the backs of people, but this works well. Beautifully done. To be very picky (and this hasn't affected my score), the ground betwen yourself and the boy seems quite dry in contrast to the rest ... I understand that you were protecting your camera, but if the boy did decided to keep going into the downpour, it would have been an even more powerful if you could have eliminated the dry ground. Congrats on a great photo :)
Great photo... but is this indoors? I don't know why that should make me like it less, but the rain just seems too heavy to be real, and it would be much more interesting with some outdoor surroundings.
