[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Last one of these. Well, for the moment.

I see your storm and raise you,
waiting for that rogue son, Sun,
whether friends are foul or fair,
careful as you climb the stairs,
step on this crack or that or
another,and your mother's
back you will impair.
It ain't fair at all,
so watch your footfall
as the famous original rays
paint this day's grays away
after all.

Red Converse! That's NYC stylin' . . . .

hello Hugh,

a great one ! although it looks very dangerous to walk like that on the slippery ground :)))
nice tilt and reflection !!!
greetings, inn

I enjoy your POV on this one. The composition is dynamic with the tilt. Well done! Regards, Marine

Such strong lines Hugh, not only the parallels between the guy and the ESB, but the cracks in the sidewalk too. And the red Converse - heaven sent! I need to get out in the rain more!

Best regards, Roberto

Hi Hugh,
It would be a B&W photo as well, but who can deny the stylish-ness of red converse :)
I like tilt here a lot, making the line on road straight and everything else tilted...
Great composition on ground with red and reflection.
Rainy days are welcome for all photography lovers, I guess, because of reflection opportunities. You did a great job here with composing the top of building and feet together.
Compliments,
Burcu

hi hugh,

this one is really creative - obviously the wet pavement with chopped man with his red convers would already make for an interesting picture but a "challenging" sky scraper reflected and heading in an opposite direction - this complements the whole scene...
nice one, certainly deserves more interest...
