Great shot! Excellent composition, clarity, lighting and subject matter. I love that you caught the street nearly empty except for this obviously surprised young man and the bus. Well done!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


The entire scene shows water and the front section shows it coming down. You captured a good photograph of the poor fellow getting wet but he had a hood, thank God, and didn't seem to mind.

I think people in UK are used to getting drenched even in mid summer. I have experienced it myself years ago during my summer vacation visit. You have captured the atmospherics well. Thanks for sharing!

Well,at least he's not being attacked by the Luftwaffe's bombers! ( It's about eighty years too late for that,eh?
: D )
That's an interesting photograph,Nikman,and it's a nicely-presented one too!

    Your very kind review is very welcome! Manchester and my nearby town were bombed many times during the Second World War.

Great photo of this young man marching though the rain and getting where he needs to be.
Wonderful mood and presentation of the reality of modern life!

This is a great image with such good composition, not least because of the sign on the building in the background that leaves us in no doubt as to where this was taken. The detail is excellent- I can see that rain just bouncing up off the road. You got eye contact with the subject too. It rains a lot here in the UK but not always as dramatically as this!

    Your very kind and interesting review is appreciated! Yes, it does rain dramatically quite often there. I know that because I was brought up near there!

Nik,
That's a scene that's typical
of what one is told about the weather in Manchester. The young man looks resigned to his situation of being soaked on an almost daily basis. The pale sky & the buildings reflected on the wet street. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

    Your conclusion is spot on in your kind review. I now it is correct because I grew up near there.
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


I feel cold and miserable just looking at this photo. Your composition and use of light is very well done. I like how you incorporated a person to give this a human feel. Well done

Comment from Ray Gordon


You have done a wonderful job capturing this pedestrian sloshing in the rain, probably soaked to the bone. You have done a fine job on this oldie but goody. Ray
