A wide sweeping landscape...but in my mind it's more of an abstract or even a macro with all the great texture and patterns. Very nice!

I would have cropped a little off the foreground and background.

I like how the group of trees between the colors look like they're all huddling together for safety, as if they're all afraid to be there on their own.

lovely sense of country atmosphere captured in this image...the rolling hills and the haze in the background add to the sense of 'country'...a simple and effective image

the colors are dull and there is nothing leading my eye to any certain point in the image.

Nice composition. The colour temperate looks wrong.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I love this shot! Wow! I've read the comments and agree with the majority, this works! (Okay, except for the skinny gray triangle in the lower left...but that's fixable.) So, what can I tell you? I suppose I can only express why it works so well for me.

The Impact is immediate. I know exactly who I am as a viewer...inside on a dreary day separated from the group outdoors...alone. I feel distanced from the brave or foolish souls in the street.

The focus on the water drops pulls me inside more. Creative in interpretation of the scene! I feel as if I've stared at the droplets on the window for hours waiting for the world to mutely pass by without care if it does or not.

The composition is superb! The three figures, a group but separate individuals, passing from light toward gray. The diagonal leads them along through the frame. The parked cars top and bottom define the scene. The square crop suggests an abstract piece composed by a view camera rather than a 35mm snapshot. Classic in the realm of photography rather than landscape painting.

I love the grain and the timelessness it conveys. This could have been almost any day of the past century. I don't miss the lack of perfect focus on the droplets...that would have put the emphasis too far in that one direction.

Yes. DPC needs more of these images. The world needs more of them! Whatever the motivation, this is a great reaction to the world and a wonderful conveyance of a personal vision. Moody. Lovely. Graphic. Wow!
