Great shot, mute!! Love the angle and the coposition!! I guess a "through window" shot is cool since the reflections and stain of water droplets created a style. Brilliant!
I was trying to do this today as it rained. Unfortunately, I live out in the country and no one was walking around AND there is no pavement so all you see is brown puddles with water hitting them. Blech. But, you've given me the incentive to try, try again. :-)
I wish I could 'snap' shots like this, truly beautiful.
Totally agree with other comments, it does look cinematic, if only she was wearing roller skates...
I love the composition, the effect of the drops and the silhouette with the unbrella. For the position it could be said that he was running. I like very very much this picture.
Wonderful ! For a couple of weeks I looked for taking a picture of the rainy weather in Montreal. I didn't find it. This one is perfect, I would have been very proud to take this one.
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
Nice shot. I like how the focus light is on the person, yet the rain drops are everywhere. It's funny that it was in the summer, because to me, it's as if it was one of those warm winter shots, with the slush of snow/sleet, but nothing sticking and someone just trying to get home. Great work!

Thanks, this was actually taken through an open window, all the little drops you see are rain in mid air :)

This one made me stop and look a few times. I really like the effect through all that rain, its caused a nice distortion on the walker below.

I LOVE the mood and your decision to blur the person in lieu of the drops. Nice work.

Fantastic, in the true sense of the word. I really like this one - feels like a dream. Great capture.

Excellent shot. The black and white, the depth of field and the individual rain drops all work well together. Wish we got storms like that in England.

Moody image with good lighting and shadow. the white of her bare legs catch the eye and give you an idea of the season.

I like the DoF, and how th person isnt sharp in the shot...the rain in. The b/w adds alot too it, very nice composition.

Great image. Did you need to flash to get the flakes/drops to light up like that? I'll try it during the next typhoon!

I don't know what to write that hasn't already been written here. That said, it still feels as if though one word is missing: Mesmerizing.
