    After the Rain

    This was taken the other day, after a rainstorm. The light outside was just gorgeous...it was a late afternoon storm, so the sun was setting right afterwards.

    Emily,

    Interesting shot. I love the sunlit reflection on the puddles, definitely adds a huge part to this photo. That being said, I wish the mail box had become more prominent to add a stronger subject. Great shot though.

    Emily,

    This does nothing for me - as Jar said there isn't really a focal point to grab my interest. If there was something more in the reflections?

    Thanks Roger and Jared for your thoughts on this. I see what you're both saying about the subject issue.

    Thanks again,

    I like the colors, and the reflections... looks like something familiar... it's nice. I agree about the focus though.
