3rd Place
Street rain*
by Justin Miller

OK...no people. But this is definately part of street life in Florida - a late afternoon thunderstorm blackening the skies and dumping rain. I focused on the water drops instead of the background - I just thought it looked interesting!

Really excellent shot, Justin! I especially like the lights and regularity of raindrops you managed to capture. Helen

Thank you Gaurav...no, I did no color adjustments or desaturation here. This is precisely the way it looked. Only modifications to the original was to crop slightly off the right side to crop out the edge of a light post, resize, and USM.

Thank you Mexiwolf.

Justin - I love this picture and the atmosphere it conveys. Did you selectively desaturate it or was it really so gloomy outside? ~gk
