Rainy days
This was taken with my digital compact (Kodak DX4530) about a month ago in Sloan Square. It was raining a fair bit and was a quick shot thats why its a little more blurred than I would have hoped for.

i like the selective colour here - i was told once by a pro photographer that you should always include some red in a photo as it attracts the eyes into the shot!

I love the guy on the left, looking like he's running away from the scene of a crime

The colouring works well in this! The lady adds to this shot in so many ways as well.. umbrella up, hood up, jacket done up.. I love it!

I always love shots like this -- makes me think of moving pictures -- but without the moving part -- just gives me the feeling of movement with the isolation of color... really well done...

The blur makes the shot in my opinion... The guy running on the right looks as if he's either just done something dodgy, or is about to! The two guys over to the right seem to be looking at him too, which reinforces the feeling of "incident". I'm not sure about the selective colour though, the blurred guy is the subject here (in my eyes), and the selective colour is drawing me away from him. A very interesting shot with plenty to look at!

I meant the guy running on the left in my post above... :-)

Interesting the way different people interpret the same image in different ways. Thanks Stewart.

The selective coloring works well, draws the eye right in yet I do not miss the other elements, everything is holds up on its own.

there are several stories being told in here by looking at the shot. utlimately it ends with the lady on red. i like the idea :)

I like the motion in the picture. I gives the feeling of needing to hurry becasue of the rain. The red creates a strong focus point, and then my eye goes out from there. If this is a grab shor, well done. If intended, then also well done.
