Hi John; this is what I like in the picture:
- plenty of space around the lady
- close to the object
- the frametrick works very well here
- almost limited to 2 colours (red and b&w)
Good work.
The title suggests heavy rainfall, but we can't see it.
A quit scene; good performed.
groet
Huub

Great color and DOF, I can see the rain on the umberella, so very clear. Another creative frame shot John. Intent look on her face.

Hey John.. this is a good one... your so good at taking people... I tried to take some people at the beach yesterday... (just for you)...lol... but i always feel they are looking at me.. thinking.. hey lady.. why are you taking our photo!...

Good colours here, and the umbrella tends to stand out well.. kinda like 3D effect...

Cheers Dawn.

Does it rain in Spain?
Nice one John, this poor lady being shown on TLens. I'm always a bit unsure whether to take photos like this.
Your frame is good, I like how you have inserted the umbrella in it. Well done.

nice one john, i like the way the umbrella es popping into the frame and the expression on the woman's face is priceless, not a happy one due to the rain... TFS...Martha

Hi John,
Mooie foto, maar eerlijk gezegd mis ik de regen. Zelf de plu lijkt droog. Maar de compo is mooi net als de rood/zwart tegenstelling.
groet Rob

Hi John , nice frame work, she seems very concentrated on not stepping in a puddle!,
Christine.

Yes John, the border specialist, (and the windmill and the ...)
Goeie effort en die ou tannie sukkel met die water.
However. it is the capture of the lady exactly in the middle of the window that works for me...

I like how you captured this woman whose clothes coordinate with the background - see the black and red. Great framing!

Hallo John. Een mooi onderwerp met zulk weer. Juist de weinig en toch opvallende kleuren maken deze foto voor mij sterk.
Ik hoop dat je niet veel van deze weer foto's behoeft te maken dan wordt het in ieder geval zonniger. Groet Frans.

Hi John, This lady was walking close to you and she is looking downward, probably to avoid a puddle :)

Good composition, and close-up on the subject and I like her umbrella out of the frame :)

Cheers, Yan

It pays off to have your toy handy. Good shot she is in deep thought here.

Oke John, I'm back. Everything is ok. The last few days I spend my little time to read De Da Vinci Code. Great book by the way.

Nice portrait here. I like the "grey" colours but with the red colourwhich "jumps" out of the picture. Nice job.

Don

Better than the other one very nice colors
