48 - Battling with the Rain
The rain came down in bucketloads on our first day in Venice. Fortunately Jackie bought a pair of wellies and it never rained again. I wouldn't have missed Venice in torrential rain for anything though, it was great fun.

snip....Plenty of people colour pop but its not often as effective as this.


What I like especially about what Barbara's done here is the fact that she's included the reflection of the pram. Nice touch. Plenty of people would have missed that and just gone for the obvious.


I also like the way Barbara has coloured the street lights, they compliment the main subject without intruding.

Definitely the finishing touch Tom but for me at least, it's the idea as much as the execution that has impact here. Plenty of people colour pop but its not often as effective as this.

Hi Tom, thanks for that, but as you are the King of the Punch, can you give me some pointers please


Everything in the photo is spot on. The composition, the colour over greyscale, the angles of the people (and the rain), everything! But if I had to make one adjustment, it would be to increase the contrast a little. Most people will probably disagree because I am aware that I have a tendency to go overboard in this respect LOL.

Great photo Barbara. Thinks it lacks a little "punch" somehow, but still a 4 from me.

That really is very good, excellent in fact. It captures the mood very well, I feel wet through just looking at it. :yay:
