I dont really like the lack of symmetry in this photo. I think that by cropping out the space after the last pillar to the left, you will not only make the background symmetrical but also bring the umbrella into the direct center of the shot.

This would have been a good photo if it were in focus. If the girl were out of focus or blurred by motion it still would have been very exciting only if the columns were really sharp and in focus for the contrast of motion and un moveable.

Would prefer it without the motion blur.

I loved this the first time I saw it, and that hasn't changed. Pictures should tell a story, and this one tells a story of joy and the simple pleasure of dancing in the rain. What can be more fun than that? 9

Nicely timed and composed photograph, with a happy feel and just enough feel of motion. ((8))
