Tudo cai pra lá e pra cá
Pra lá e pra cá...
... Follow me now
To a place you only dreamt of
Before I came along...
... After the rain comes sun
After the sun comes rain again
After the rain comes sun
And after the sun comes rain again..."

Robercie ...
Ach to krótkoogniskowe spojrzenie ... skąd ja to znam ... hmm ...
muszę się zastanowić ... kto twym Guóuru JEST...
Pięknie kompozycyjnie ... Wykonanie ... bezbłędne ...
Celne słoneczno-kwiatowe skojarzenia i spostrzeżenia, dopełniają całości.
Serdecznie

Olá robert,
a stormy sky in which the flower looks like the sun which gives all the brightness to the photo. Interesting perspective.

Hello Robert,
I like this original compo.
The yellow flower is eyecatcher, and the wide perspective is very interesting.
Have a nice day,
JB.

Now tell us the truth Robi - did you carry that flower with you, just looking for the perfect location to place your prop?
I doubt it, but you couldn't have set this up better even if you'd tried - the flower looks great on that wet metal bench (wouldn't have been as good without the droplets), and draws the eye in nicely.
There's an interesting dynamic going on with the zig-zag lines of the bench, railings and bridge. We almost don't need those people in the scene, and if anything I think I'd have preferred it without them.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Robi,
How nice and unusual, poetic too...I cannot help asking if you took the flower from some flowerbed nearby to put it there ? :) In any case,it makes for a really strong effect, with the wet bank, and the urban background. I like the presence of people too. And a partial desaturation like in the ws looks impressive.
Kind regards
Michèle

Hi Robert
The place is not romantic but it's a great picture with an intersting scene moment under hard meteo conditions.
Very good frame quality with the flower in foreground.
Greetings from orleans.

Wonderful artistic capture, Robi. And nice note and title to support what we see in the image. Great depth with this 2 in 1 composition. The detail in FG is amazing and I really like the effect of the water drops and reflection. Good diagonal bettween the flower and the scene with the father and son. The yellow flower has a strong visual impact but also a powerful poetic message.
cheers,
ric

You're going all arty Robi. As well as the flower on the seat there is enough water for some eye-catching reflections. I bet that's a grandad protecting his grandson (He has to bend his knees to reach down! ;D) Well spotted, framed and executed.

Hi Robie,
This is a very inspired image, very well composed with much imagination. There are so much interesting details and evocations... The yellow flower is a nice metaphor of the sun. :-)
Regards, José.

Hello Robert,
Great photo, the compo is nice with the bright yellow contrasting against the grey bench and finally the heavy sky.
Excellent sharpness, by the way what lens did you use?
Good work, Regards,
Daniel

That's a lovely picture, Robi, genuinely poetic and so well seen. Not obvious that one. Great title too, right on...
