There is a quiet determination and grace in this photograph. The exposure and toning contribute to the overall feel, but my favorite part is you can “see” him walking because of those footsteps in the snow, his stride short but sure. This capture of a simple everyday moment in time is one of the reasons I love photography.

Art tells stories. Or at least it suggests them and lets the viewer fill in the narrative gaps. Of all the images in this challenge, this one most appeals to me for its storytelling. It wonders, "Where is he headed? What important life matters have compelled him to get out in this weather? The darkness at the vanishing point of the frame is deliciously open-ended—as if this could be a man marching resolutely to his own certain demise...or maybe just to the dentist for a routine check-up. The viewer projects his or her own story on the proceedings, and that's to this image's credit.

Perfect moment. A millisecond sooner or later, both feet would be on the ground and the umbrella wouldn't be almost perfectly vertical, making it a less interesting photograph. The visible raindrops are the magic ingredient, making the whole thing sing.
