Photographer’s Note
A rainy day in the mountain city of Cajabamba allowed me this shot of a Peruvian who appeared to be deep in thought.

Lovely, moody shot. The reflections are beautiful. Wonder why the water looks red. Maybe a tighter crop on the left and bottom would make this even stronger.

Hey Sam! Great one! Very artistic and what a fantastic and original reflection! I agree with Moxon on the tighter crop. Merry Christmas my friend! Chris

Hi Sam,
I was going through your gallery and noticed that picture.
I like it a lot, especially the grey of the outside weather and the brown/orange color of the foreground.
A definite plus is the presence of the Peruvian man!
Well done.

Hi Sam, when I first saw the thumbnail I thought this was a river of blood! It's a very deep red colour. Maybe that's why the man is turning away... A nice capture of everyday life.

Hi Sam,
I like your PoV for these great reflections. The pose of the guy watching rain fall it's very good.
Yes, probably a lighter crop of the image can make the reflection of stronger impact. I made a WS in the chance you like I will be glad.
A smile

Hi Sam,
I am writing you from Lima (where I am staying for a while)... so I can hardly miss to comment on this one :-)
You know what ? I think you were lucky to have some rain... because the permanent sun with the misty atmosphere is not ideal for expressive photos.
What I really like in this one is the amount of red you've left in the picture... I think, considering the weather conditions .. I wouldn't even have tried to picture the scene and I wouldn't have given so much emphasis to the floor. But, looking at you result, all I can say is that you were right !!!
Congratulations
Eric /.

Sam: I think you've deomonstrated a keen eye on this one - very, very well seen. Approached from the classic French portrait painters' style. tfs, caleb
