The original photo is a full frame of the road, pavement and the 3 persons.

I found it to be too distracting from what I wanted to convey...so I gave it the chop (aka; crop)!

Hi Talisman,
I realy like the golden reflection of the rainy pavement here.
Regards,
Paul

Dear Talisman,
I think you did a very good job here. The composition is very good with the reflection you didn't cut the picture into to halves, up and down. The black, bronce, gold colours are marvelous. Yours, Jan

i like the rain and the glow, as well as the crop. but personally i will remove the red plastic bag..find it competing for attention with the floor.

I think you cropped it nicely, I like that you can only see the peoples feet, yet can see all of their shadows. The glow from the wet sidewalk, and the texture of the lines of tiles is very nice. Well done.

i like it! good colours, and interesting cropping. the composition is a little imbalanced: maybe too much space at the bottom?

I love it, you chopped well. The golden glow of the pavement looks gorgeous

Hi Talisman,
this is a beautiful moody shot! With the golden after rain sunlight over the pavement. I think that the crop is perfect and really enhace this composition.
congrats.
Marisa

I think you cropped well, and the colours are really strong. The lamp post bothers me a bit, but stil, it is a very strong picture. Good chop!

Tonalité et lumière très intéressantes dans cette image au cadrage bien original. Bien vu!
Bye, Jacques

J'adore le reflet sur le pavement des rues après la pluie et j'apprécie tout autant les cadrages excentriques [qui sortent du centre] ou les personnages ne sont pas les éléments principaux de la photo ... bien vu°-]

Lovely golden tones, so well brought out and enhanced by teh glitter created by the rain. Wonderfully abstracted. The people could be our friends, or complete strangers.

I think this is a very good picture.. you have done well to change from the original to this..
in this way my feeling is as there are more layers overlayered....
well done
Paolo

He Talisman,

I had a look at yours too. It is more dramatic with the wet street and the refelction. Very good shot.

Thanks,

Hendrik

I think a very judicious crop resulting in a creative and dynamic composition. Of course, beyond the crop there's that beautiful golden light reflecting in the wet pavement and that is the element that truly makes this photograph stand out. Rain makes vegetables grow, and brings a lot of other good stuff if you ask me...

HI Talisman, I like this for the great colour and light ... and most for the special atmosphere. Nice image, Nino.

this picture must have been from before i joined TL. but wow - its beautiful!

I love the gold reflection, the shadows it produces, and the sparkles of raindrops... simple and beautiful! The golden reflection looks like gold leaf.

How did you get the gold color? I like it very well. You did very well with the choice of crop.

Great composition and exquisite light! Congratulations. Works really well!

A stroll on *gold*. This is very nice, great use of the wet ground and shadowy reflections. I like the composition very much.

Nicely done.

It's been raining for > 30 hours straight now. Been avoiding getting wet, and no chance to go shoot. This photo gives me some inspiration to brave the torrential rain and go shoot some pics!
