Nice catch of every day life people sheltering during a downpour. Very good for the challenge to include a lot of foreground splashing.

Best part is you captured her emotion. My eyes went direct to her face and I wondered what was going though her mind. The black background and her colorful clothing draw me to her face.

I find it quite stunning. Her serious innocence. Love the kimono as well. I think it's a nice shot.

I really like the side lighting (gives her features a 3D effect). The colors are awesome, especially against the muted background.

Minor nit: I think the focus might have been just a tad back from the eyes... the neckline of the shirt on her right, and also her right ear both look tack sharp, but her eyes look a tad soft (they are only just a little bit closer to the lens, but with very shallow DOF it can make a difference). Anyway, it's really close...

Sorry, but I'm going to ruin your "1-favorite" standing by favoriting it. :-)

Nice candid, it would have helped if the subjects had been actually doing an activity or focused on something a bit more specific.

Definately meets challenge. Looks like a cloud burst. Just not a very interesting picture.

I think it needs closer cropping. Perhaps just focusing on the right half of the picture, which is what I find most interesting. I love the look on the man with the brown shirt and blue pants.
