Rainy Days In Liege

Thank you Bonnie, thank you Georgia for your cheering comments.

Cartier-Bresson would have loved this. Excellent shot Marc. cheers, georgia

perfectly great! l/f so impressed that you envisioned this before the guy with the umbrella actually materialized!

Congratulations on being featured in the Fine Art America Group "Images That Excite You!"

Thanks, Nikolyn. Your words translate exactly what I initially saw in the scene ...

Wonderful! I love those curving pavers and the punch of the single red umbrella, perfectly placed in the composition. Great textures and palette, too. This is one of my two Picks of the Day in the Best of Minimalism in Photography group for January 10.

Fantastic! I love it. v/f and my Pick of the Day in the Best of Minimalism in Photography!

Thanks, Marcia ! Maggie, thanks for your choice. Actually I spotted the pavement design from an overpass in central Liege, Belgium on a rainy day (usual in that part of the world ...) I envisionned what I was after, crossed my fingers, waited for a couple minutes, then I saw that guy with a red umbrella rushing in from the distant right, waited for him to be in the right spot, and the "moment" happened. Let's never forget that luck often plays a major part in creative photography ... :-) Cheers !

What a great shot. I love the umbrella just at the exact spot and it being red is such incredible serendipity. How long did it take to get this shot? My choice for best of minimalism photography discussion thread for March 10, 2016 :-) Maggie

Wonderful capture!

Thanks, Gary, I appreciate your comment.

Composition and combination of lines make this image very interesting. Excellent work!! F/L and my minimalism POD for 3/9/16.
