20131003_A031136 Upon Reflection... (Thu 03 Oct)

Wharf Crescent, Pyrmont, NSW

We had a brief return to rain today, though nothing particularly intense.

Initially I was shooting across the road into the park to my left. Not being particularly satisfied with anything that I got from those shots I therefore crossed the road, turned 90° and started shooting the reflections of the poles on the wet street. Then I noticed the reflection of the building in the background and thought that the colour in the reflection was quite striking.

Once I got it into PhotoShop though, and upon reflection (as it were), I found that the colour was simply too overwhelming in the shot.

Consequently, I dropped it out completely leaving only the colour of the person who likes to go running in the rain.

This works very well. The selective colouring is perfect for a rainy day shot.

The selective coloring is well done and gives this moody shot just the right bit of spark. V

I like the portrait framing and selective coloring. The monotone suits the rainy day with the only sign of activity being the jogger. V.
