Photographer’s Note

It is so hot and so wet in Beijing these few days.
Walking with that whether like taking a bath of the vapour
That we suffer the whether like a pregnant woman suffering the birth.
The floods of rain was coming at last, today.

Salut Mingfang,
Ou laaaaaa !!!!
Ca attire le regard cette image, même en miniature dans la galerie !
J’adore tout le dynamisme que dégage cette prise de vue !
Cette silhouette dans l’ombre du contre jour m’intrique, ca pousse à s’imaginer des choses ce genre d’image.
Pour la critique, j’aurais peut être décentré le cadrage façon de ne pas placé la silhouette au milieu du cadre
Beau travail
Merci pour le partage
Amicalement
Sébastien

Hi Mingfang,
an interesting result. The silhouette, the man in red and also the red reflections on the ground.
Nice photo.

Great decisive moment, nice colors from the rain, the slight red reflection (échoing the red in the bg) on the ground is just great. Nice elements & details in the background.

Thanks, Alain -

I think this is a great shot Mingfang. There a lot of little details that combine here to make a great image; the reflections on the wet streets, the blur in the passing vehicles, and above all the figure hurrying to escape the rain.
Excellent work.

Hi Mingfang

I think you got the catch of the moment here!
Evberything seems to be in a hurry to evade the rain coming down in sheer masses..
Interesting - the only person who does not seem to move is that girl to the right. She seems to be excited about the rain, or at least about all the adults, cars and so on who needs to evade ...

Nice work, indeed

Stunning shot, absolutely masterly, Mingfang. You are "shooting for real" here, tat's for sure. WHOA! The liqui colors, that black silhouette "ghost" floatin above the street, and the shadow on the wet surface. Man, this is good!
I have no more FAVs to give (ful up I'm afraid) but this is a silent favorite, ok?
best wishes,
Francis

Hi Mingfang, what a superb atmosphere you've got here. Water falling from the sky and coming to wash out the dirt from our eyes. The red reflections on the pavement match brilliantly the background colours. Excellent work.

Good shot, Mingfang, I like the hurriedness of this man and I especially like his reflection on the wet ground. A lot of red, too. Well done... I see you are enjoying your digital!

Colors in the background, a little happening between the "red woman" and the boy... a lot of red and a GHOST running to our direction cutting colors. What a scene!!
And I love the way you write your notes, Mingfang!
This one is a little masterpiece

Interesting shot Mingfang. Normally I don't like images with the foreground subject out of focus, but I think it suits this image. It helps portray that chaotic feeling when you're out on the streets in the rain.

Hi
I like very much your photo. There is this silhouette which runs in the rain, the foot in the air. I like the colours of the back ground and reflexion.
What is interesting it is that the general dynamism comes from colours while the action is in black.

An instance, dear Mingfang, where cropping the head is working just fine, moreover, it's what the doctor ordered :-)
Perfectly seen, lovely reflection, a mood so strong that I just couldn't pass it by even though am in a crazy rush
Hello and bravo from hot ottawa

Hi Mingfang,
This is one incredible shot! Love the slickness of ground and the reflections. Also amazing background with that capture of the guy in red. Artistic, innovative and original.
All the best,

I feel this is absolutely a super quality reportage kind of photograph which I always love to shoot.. great sense of time and moment.. It says all .. you dont need to add any note with the photograph and i think thats the strength of a photograph.. very nice one

Hi Mingfang. How did you protect your camera? I don't take my camera out on rainy day, you know. No wonder I have no shots of rainy scenery.

I like the colours in the photo, carefully placed in all over the photo taht entertains my eyes. I see the humidity as well.

学校开始了吗？
你因该是兴奋的吧！
