Love this shot. The patterns of the water are beautiful, and you've captured a great moment. I think the b&w really works here, too. My leaning, though, is that it would probably have worked better for another theme. I don't really see the "decisive moment" aspect of it, though it's a nice moment for certain. I also found some of the litter(?) on the top portion of the photo, on either side of the puddle, quite distracting. It was just visible enough to notice, but I wasn't able to figure out what it was, and my eyes kept going to it. Otherwise, though, an excellent and lovely shot.

kikko77 said 798 days ago:

thanks.
moenkopi: I could have picked up the litter and missed the opportunity :)

moenkopi said 798 days ago:

True. :-) Actually, I was thinking more of darkening the section or blurring it a bit. It's still an outstanding photo, though.

A puddle in the shape of a cross between Bob Hope and a map of Ireland. You don't see that every day!

Wow this is a stunning image!! Arranged, or by chance, it doesn't matter, because either way, getting all of the elements involved in this shot to come together as successfully as this goes down as "serendipity in front of the lens" in my book. Nice work!

Beautiful tones and reflection, but not very relevant for the theme.

I'm a sucker for good puddle shots, and you captured a good one here. It's kind of seems like they're posing for you.

kikko77 said 798 days ago:

thanks everyone.
delineated: i was walking behind them when I saw their reflection. I asked them to turn around and then I took this only photo. (And i rotated it of course)

TheDailySunrise said 798 days ago:

It's not much of a moment : it's more of a set-up shot and creatively post-processed.You score high everywhere except relevance for me.

kikko77 said 798 days ago:

thanks. but it really wasn't set up. post-processed, yes.

tread said 797 days ago:

Wonderous...

ArneG said 797 days ago:

I find this image very pleasing and very appropriate for the theme

I do like this photo. It seems these people are looking into some other world.
