"My precccious" (hehe, makes me think of that) My wonderful little brother, Jamie, again who'll do anything for a photo-- even sit in freezing water and get sprayed with a hose :-) (Anything for the picture!) I think it's cool looking but I'm not sure how rainy it looks. Oh well. :-)
Quote from my brother after seeing it first edited "It looks like I'm a poor kid who got thrown into a puddle...a REALLY...big...deep puddle"
Title from a Damien Rice song of the same name :)

Interesting photo, one thing keeps drawing my attention though, it looks like the boy almost doesnt have any eyes?
Still I like the color/tones/and subject-- 7
Marvellous - I almost just hit a score and passed on, but this has real depth and soul to it I think. And it has mystery, and a grittiness that speaks of a real world, rather than the fantasy cleaned-up version we get round here so much. It prompts a raft of questions and wonderings - perhaps a raft the kid could have used right then?
The darkness in his eyes bothers me a bit. I think there's a bit too much burning happening here. The concept of the image is great and I love playing around in the rain myself. 5
This was a great idea. In my opinion -- for what it's worth -- there are 2 things that would improve the image. First, composition -- my eyes are drawn past the boy to the stumps or whatever they are behind him. Second, lighting -- the shadows are too harsh on his face and body. In advanced editing you could have used Highlights-Shadows adjustements, curves or a dodge and burn layer to get rid of some of the shadows. I hope this is helpful feedback.
I like the very wet feel to this shot. In retrospect, I think if the shot could have been taken near to the water level the effect of the splashing rain might be really interesting. Good work!
