This is one of the exposures that I made in my last rainy session.

Was this shot early in the evening?

Overall I find the pic kind of dark. There doesn't seem to be any taxi anywhere in the picture. If there was, personally I would wait till the taxi is closer to the girl. Would like to see more details in her blouse and the hair. If the face is at least partially visible, it could be better, too, IMO.

Too bad her shirt is dark and there's no light striking it to compensate, but I do like the scene, her stance, and the overall lighting. Probably would be a little better if you had a taxi in the scene: I'd consider cropping more because I am not sure about that large empty area in the middle. But that also makes a statement.

I really like the rim light effect on her shorts. She's back lit, yet still has very good detail. Too bad she wasn't wearing a brighter top. It would've been more excellent had it been white like the shorts.

One thing that i find distracting is the light from the bus stop. A big square bright spot in the middle. It draws too much attention.

other than that, I like the moment you caught here. very good.

Yeah, I had to burn it. I did a whole lot of dodging and burning after getting some feedback in critique forums.
