Description
This is a shot that I took one of the many recent days that it was pouring pretty good. I also used it for the preview for my poem "Rainy Days".Related content

Nice photo...my only suggestion would be to sharpen it a bit more.

I love how imaginative this shot is.. The viewer can create so many stories with a single glance.. very nice job

Having read all the previous comments I have come to the conclusion that the foreground is winning all the attention.
The interlinking ripples and the lighting on the first puddle are of excellent interest.
I presume you shot the path at this angle so as to lead the viewer into pic.But theres no focal point at the end of path,so the viewer generally looks at the first puddle and the rest of pic goes mostly unnoticed.
I think your ideas been good but youve tried to capture too much on this one.
The only way round this is to use a wide angle lens or by turning your camera through 90 degrees (portrait).
I have used this method on
[link] and a few other landscape shots.This way you gain.
(1) Maximum depth of foreground.
(2) The horizon falling on upper third of frame (rule of thirds).
Its an exception to the rule that is effective.
Hope I've been of some help.

Haha excellent idea, and you're right, I really do wanna jump in with massive wellies on!
Difficult to compose a puddle I think, although maybe I would have tried a lower angle for more DOF.
And happy birthday!

Nice work here, bud. I like the angle you took it at and the white border works well for it. The focus seems fine for it too. Superb. :claps:

i don't know much about photography so bear with me.great shot first of all, but i would want more details/contrast on the ripples.maybe the place itself didn't give you much choice with the angle of the shot?

yeah, i just wanted to get the sidewalk in the shot, so i had to go with that angle. otherwise there were some things that i didn't want in it.

There's something about this that's just not clicking in my brain. Something's misssing, but I couldn't tell you what. Maybe a different approach. Either a wider angle to capture the sidewalk better or a closer view of that puddle on the bottom left.
Otherwise, excellent. You seem to be into poetry, so I don't know how well I'll be able to help you out commentwise.

I like how in this you can't see the drops, but the reaction as they hit the water

thanks... originally i was just trying to get a rain shot to use as a preview for my poem, but it turned out so well that i had to post it separate too.

that was a great idea. i think it was seeing the picture of the rain that pulled me towards ur poem as well. Uve an amazing gallery

The texture in the water from the rain is really nice! I also like that you offset the path in the frame so that you didn't have everything symmetrical.

This piece has a great mood, as mentioned above, the black and white really works well. Reminds me of my bike-ride home, I'm still soaked.

haha... rain is so beautiful, yet such a hassle at the same time... i guess that is how many beautiful things are, but they are worth the trouble...
