good conversion to black and white, like the silohuette and the way this arch way frames the scene

love te lights reflecting on the wet footpath. The silhouette of the lady with the umbrella is wonderful. I feel almost like I am right behind her. Well done, this is a great image

nice crisp clean image, great B&W... looks like an ad for the SUV though- was that intended?

Very nice shot. The b&w conversion is especially nice. The composition is a bit off balance for me though.

Voted earlier coming back to leave a comment. Love the B&W tones in this one and the 'mood'/feel of a rainy day captured. This has such an artsy look for it is more about the mood captured here than the technicals of the shot. It is a dreary day one that calls for us to take shelter either in the car, under a walkway building or under an umbrella. This is very much a slice of everyday life the most don't spend too much thought about when we are occupying that space in time. I really get the feel of being there and feeling the moisture and dampness in the air. I like how we have the human element with the woman in the far left walking with her umbrella up. She is in silhouette and not in sharp focus in spots. Some portions of her like her legs are blurred but that just help to convey motion - and life is always in motion. I also noticed the name of the street she is going towards in the photo. "Meeting Street" makes me think of who she is going out to meet and why she has chosen today to do it. There is an unspoken story here and that is an underlying appeal that holds my attention as I create a story in my head to match the image.
