Quality of the photo is high, concept is good, but the textures of his face are too rough for me. A shaven face may have appealed to my senses more.

I really like this on a technical level. In that way, it's perfect. However, for me (and it might just be me :-), the nostrils and underside of the upper lip distracts me from an otherwise really nice image. I like the way the guy's (you?) eyes show such ecstacy at the rain. I like blue color of the rain, and the skin tones are perfect.

Excellent shot. Crisp and clean. Gives a feeling of cooling off. 9

very nice. i like the waterfall effect of this. i know this has got to be staged because rain doesn't fall in buckets like that or at least rain that i've seen. 8

a lil overexposed... but good though
  Photographer found comment helpful.

verry nice photo, I like it. the only comment i have is that the water falls a bit oblique to the right si I think the composition would be alot better if the head was more tilted to the left. I think it would be more dinamic like that but that's just my thought. Verry nice!

Nice lighting.

This is so very good. I do like the very hard sharpness added. Great photo...

Lovely, tactile image. The water looks seriously wet (not the case in many entries). The expression on his face is fabulous; he's just about wallowing in the rain! 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/16/2005 09:42:55 PM
Love this. I'd like to see more of the background on at least one side of his face, though. Great coloration and detail. Despite my earlier comments, I'm still giving it an 8.

Seems too set up to me.

...he seems so blissed...as if the rain is washing away all that is bad amd ugly in the world...so nice.

I hope this is real rain i gave you the benefit of the doubt.

nice details on the face. feels very raw. 9

So sharp my eyes are bleeding. Not a good thing BTW. A little gaussian blur and this would be a superb shot.

Great shot! Like to have seen this in black and white.

PERFECT ! This is very well done. The lighting, composition and subject all combine for a great photo that fits the challenge !
  Photographer found comment helpful.

REally clear image. Detail of water is really awesome on the face as well as falling on the face. Don't like too much the stubble on the face. Too bad it wasn't all grown in. That would have topped this photo from a 9 to a 10

great shot. that ear is really distracting, did you consider cutting it off?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

awesome!!

 08/15/2005 12:48:09 AM
Great, great image. There's a fair amount of noise in the rain drops, but other than that, this is a technically amazing image with excellent clarity and focus that works great for this challenge. Very nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/15/2005 12:41:29 AM
I really like this shot, but I think I would like it better if I could see more of the person and the location. By just focusing so much of the shot on the face, it looks more like a morning shower, not rain. What you have here is very well done though, IMO.
