It rained just as the sun was setting, casting some long shadows and illuminating the falling drops. I grabbed my camera...

Nice, wonder if it would be improved by cropping out the door on the right.

Very interesting image. There may be technical flaws, but this comes across as a very powerful visual statement. Quite frankly, I can see this as part of an exhibit or book someday.


Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

I like that a lot.
To me, it's intriguing....
Blown up and hung in a hallway or on a wall, that could really attract attention.

I think this would do extremely well in fine art and stock photography. If I really HAVE to complain about something, the light coming in leaves a pretty big hot spot around her left side, which is a tiny bit distracting.

Love it and agree with the crop of eliminating the other door.

Stunning.......and a nit.....:eek: I do agree about the size of the sunblaze coming in on her..perhaps a slight dodge to keep the flare down?
Either way, I love it.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Lovely image. I've scoured the shot to look for something to give critique on but all I can come up with is what looks like a scratch on the floor? Whatever, it's a great shot! :)

:) Maybe it adds character to the shot then!

Nice shot, I like all the elements and textures. If I had a quibble, i'd say reduce the hot spot just a smidgen.

great shot...I agree with blocking the door on the right....so the eyes train right on the one light source

very nice!! At first I didn't agree with cropping out the door on the right, after I actually cropped it out I agree. I would crop it to the edge of the sofa (so the sofa is not shown at all). The hot spot doesn't bother me - shows the strength of the light. Very nice!!
