Thanks all. Yes, rain is beautiful and as great as PS is, nothing beats nature. :) As for the game itsels, as I recall, it was adults playing, and they showed no sign of stopping despite the rain! I just happened to stumble across the scene and it caught my eye immediately. ~ Lonnit

This is one of my favourites of yours. I just wish it was bigger......800 pixels would be good.

Lonnit, I absolutely LOVE this photo!! It is definitely one of my top favorites!!

I liked it from the moment I saw it, but I didn't post because I was afraid to ask about the rain. I thought it was PS'd in & I didn't want to offend by asking. It doesn't look fake -- it's just captured perfectly!! Now I know there isn't any PS help you can give. :(

Again, wonderful picture -- great eye, great emotion, & great exposure! -- Jeannie (jburly)

I love this shot Lonnit. I haven't commented before but I keep coming back to it. I bet the kids weren't happy about the fact that you got this great shot. :-) (i hope that sounds right)

Thanks guys. :) It was coming down in buckets so it wasn't so hard to capture. LOL! ~ Lonnit

Lonnit, Very nice. I like rain photo. It is hard to really capture the look of rain so that you get the feel of it, but this image does it wonderful. E-

Hi Lonnit,

This says so much while showing so little. Very evocative. - Paul

I had a bag over the camera to protect it from the light, misty rain that was falling. I saw this scene just as it really started to come down. I took the shot, stuffed the camera under my coat and then ran all the way back to the car. I was very happy with the shot and it's always nice when others appreciate it. Thanks! ~ Lonnit
