[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is shot from my hotel balcony in Manaus.
Two times I saw few drops of rain during my trip to Brazil in beginning of April - this was one of them.
The wind was getting strength, suddenly it got much darker and the feeling of a coming storm was in the air.
However, it only rained few drops and in 15 minutes the sun was shining again.

I shot the original in color but converted it to B&W in Photoshop. The colorful houses on the background demanded too much attention when the photo was in color and the dramatically flying clothes that I wanted to capture on this photo did not feel to be the main subject but rather obstructing the view. :)
Also I cropped a bit and adjusted contrast slightly.

Hi Lennart,
I think it would be better if you had given much place to white sheet.. Maybe by focusing a little much to left side. Or by zooming in a little more. But it is just my taste..
