What a cool image! It has an abstract quality and one can easily sense the movement of the water - almost hear its heavy hiss.

Nice to see you back. Nice take and the grain adds a lot to the shoot.

Thanks for the welcome back. I've missed doing the challenges. I'm still extremely busy but, whewww I think the worst is over for the time being. :o) Did you see the settings I had to use for this. It was very very dark out and it was about 1:00 in the afternoon. The storm was short but it was fun while it lasted!

Nice to see you back, Shirley!
This is a powerful image. I like very much the fade that form the water sprays. Great sense of anticipation here. endika

wet, send some down here. you got your self a converable he probably would rather drive with the top down. I like the BW treatment it really shows the power and quantity of the rain water
