Dont know about the hot pixel - might be a water drop- does not seem to show up in later pics- will keep a look out now - Debi

Thanks guys- I was trying another black & white version but was too late last night- Carole I think the pole balances the direction of the movement and and helps the image- Debi

This has fantastic movement, superb picy. Well done Debi. Be careful you don't spoil your picys in Photoshop:-)

Very Good Shot! Hope you didn't get your camera wet. I like the way all the people are reacting to the conditions.

This is great Debi! And it looks good in b&w too - I tried it! :-) It looks like you have a hot pixel down toward the bottom, which you can clone out and it seems slightly tilted to the right. I'm normally not a fan of having a pole smack dab in the center of the image but this looks OK for some reason! Good shot!:-) CJ

You caught a perfect moment with the lighting of this image. It makes a perfect statement on the topic of "movement," for everyone is moving different directions to get away from the rain. Excellent job.

Beautifully atmospheric capture. The muted colors and pattern of the rain provide a natural "filter" to the image that doesn't rob it of its realism. -tv

Thanks Penny & Brent - Just a quick shot I managed to take in this weather-

Brent - just get yourself a ticket and hop over - you can always bunk at my place- Debi

Wonderful! You see a lot of movement with the pelting rain, but also get the feeling of people scurrying about and fast moving dark clouds. Well done Debi! Oh, I would love to visit India some day...
