It's interesting really because I really worked at focusing on the pattern of light created by the rain (yes the real thing) I was trying to recreate that sort moment when your not really looking at the scenery or the rain just absorbing the fact it's raining again.
I obviously missed a great lump that makes a picture appealing to others but given that I'm pleased with the constructive comments from people that took the time to look at the picture, but i am really disappointed by a couple of comments that are not constructive and quit frankly a little insulting I hope that made them feel big

Well, close to last, but I still like this. The colors are great, and the way you captured the water drops couldnt have been better.

I say congrats for breaking out of the ordinary.

Lighting look very interesting. However, the extreme out of focus kill the shot in my opinion.

Too oof for my tastes. I do like the compositional aspect and the crop. Good luck.

The focus on this is too far off...

Nice concept, but with absolutly no where to (in) focus, I'm not sure what to look at.

Nice abstract, but I think it didn't quite go far enough in either direction (more abstract or more natural). I really like the lights playing on the water droplets though.

whats the point?
08/18/2005 03:49:41 PM
the focus is on the blur. I'm sure you're aware. but that is strange. interesting though it may be conceptually, it doesn't make for a very interesting photograph.

DNMC... :-(

It's sunny out, the sky is blue, someone sneezed on your window while hitting a bump in the car. This could be nice in an abstract sense, but there is no subject or flow of interest for me.

Nothing in the picture is in focus. If you look at it closely, however, it does have kind of a neat 3D look.

Hmmmm.. a little toooo abstract for my tastes, but I like the light reflections on the droplets. The colors are very soothing. The more I see it, the better it gets ;)

Just a bit too blurry to create a positive impact.

i would have liked to see anything in focus on this photo. The rain drops on the window give a nice glitter and had the potential to make a very nice photo

I am afraid this one is just to out of focus. The bright spot in the center seems confusing as well.

i struggle to latch on to a focal point here. there's just too much distractions, i feel. 4
