Wow - look at that rain. Love this shot in its grittiness. It's incredibly urban - awesome job. Wish it would rain here, and I would take a shot like that - ;op
Great sense of "being there" in this shot - the downpour is palpable, as is the sense of rush and scurry, all against a fabulous graffiti-ed backdrop that's a subject in its own right.
awesome capture, nick. i love the motion blur, makes you really feel he's rushing to avoid the rain pouring down. great composition with the graffiti and the b&w umbrella.
From the looks of those drops it was pouring when you took this. Extra marks for taking your camera out in weather like that! No wonder the guy is running. Everything comes together here -- the rain, the graffiti, the motion blur, the processing. All around great shot.
I so love this. What makes the umbrella really stand out is the fact that the sections are black and white and not a solid color. Wonderful movement. I dig the graffiti as a backdrop too.
