Very cute mixed media with this young lad. He himself is nice and sharp and the added rain effects certainly brings up the theme making rain more obvious than it would be naturally. Nicely done :)

This is a superb entry for the competition. It definitely got my vote and, looking at the vote so far, it seems you will win with ease. This is an excellent and so simple composition. The little boy seems so happy. I like how natural the shot is. I like the way you have lit this to emphasise your subject. Excellent work as always!

Yes, in the eyes of a child. What a great capture of this little boy enjoying the elements standing in a puddle as the drops fall. Nice lighting, color and story. Love it. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Annie,

I don't think I've EVER seen someone that was so Completely bundled up for the rain. Looks like the rain was added with a filter as well as the ripples in the puddle. Those additions really fit your rainy day theme. The little boy is SO cute. Love the blurred background.

Very Nicely Done My Friend!

To this day I remember a walk home from school when mom's did not have that second car to pick the kids up. The streets were flooding well past my ankles around the intersections. It was one of the best times of my life:) Nice capture of this little guy having a great time in the rain. Thanks for sharing brought back sweet memories.
