When it rains, it...

Got nicely soaked taking these. Hope the gear is ok.

As always, comments, suggestions, taunts, praise is welcomed and very appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Well, you have to suffer for your art.

Don't like doing a 'compare and contrast' with a set (that's why I prefer seeing just one image in a post - but that's just me!), but this is my pick from the bunch above.

I think it's more 'complete' image. The composition, structure and content is balanced and harmonious, in a way that i don't think the others are. But maybe they're not meant to be. Maybe they are meant to challenge and 'jar'.

Having paused to think about it for a moment, the terms I would use are that the other three are aggressive, whilst this one is passive and peaceful. And that is a very subjective viewpoint.

Thanks Donald. Actually that was the only one I was thinking of posting but then "greed" took over.

Never thought of pics in "passive/aggressive" terms but see what you mean.

The things we learn here...

That's a wonderful moment.

Thanks Giannis.

I like this one...haven't seen snail for a while.

Well worth the effort! I like the first with the snail myself. How many times will any of us get a chance to get a well composed photo with a drop of water coming off the shell of a snail facing you horizontially on the side of a leaf? Not often IMHO. Great catch!

Thanks Al. They will come out when there is rain around.

Scott, thanks. He was quite obliging. Took a couple of poses.
