I liked Nathan's shot of the girl in the rain very much, and yours of the Rain on Tourists, too, even if it's unsharp. For me it should be a combination of B&W, a person hurrying through the rain (with the same feeling of 'Jimmy Dean on that cold morning in NY'), visible and splattering raindrops, pinsharp. So a combination of a short shutterspeed and a small aperture. In low light. Not sure if I'll ever catch the essence of rain... Thanks for showing, Philippe > From: "Richard S.
