Thank you sir! I had a fun time doing it. I even took my camera in the rain, and the Hubs didn't get mad

Thank you, thank you!! The umbrella is this deep green, and it looks cool like that too. But after messing around with GIMP this just looks the best... to me!

there is not a single thing that i don't love about this shot.
the composition is awesome, LOVE how the focus is on a select area of raindrops... the color (or lack of) adds so much mood. i simply love it.

Very nice, Summer! I like the converging lines at the tip of the umbrella and the wonderful DOF. The black and white treatment is excellent!

Thank you so much! It was a spur of the moment thing. I love when they work out like that.

Thanks Mike! When I was focusing on the umbrella I really loves the way that the tip of it was blurred out. I thought it was cool... I'm glad you do too.
