Went to Universal Studios CityWalk this past weekend and was taking shots of little kids running through ground sprinklers.

This one girl caught my eye but she was too quick for my camera. I ended up with this. I gotta say, I really like it. Does it work for anyone else?

I like it, but I think I'd like it more in color. Just curious; are the large droplets on the camera lens or window between you and the subject?

Hey Jim,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. When I grayscaled the shot, it barely removed any color at all except from her arms. I found they detracted from the shot, that's why I went B&W.

As for the droplets, those are in mid air. I was about 6 feet from the action. My camera isn't waterproof and there wasn't any window.
