Animals in the Rain

Real strong weather meets real strong creature creating a unit. It looks so uncomfortable, but the cattle seems to get even strength out of the weather. Brilliant the tones and textures in all kinds of grey not having a strong white or black in the pic. Still there is the strong contrast showing the cattle perfectly clear.

For me the most surprising photo of the contest, actually I thought first to press "no", but there was something with the photo. So I did many looks several times. The rain is giving a wonderful tone and structure surrounding the dog, which almost looks a bit like rain too. The contrast is brought wit a little spaces of red and blue colour and some silver. And the composition is very interesting. The dog is quite exactly positioned to the corner of the stone plate and the leash is leaving the pic exactly in the right upper corner

Wonderful - a real story telling photo in the contest. A very wonderful scene and perfect composition. As the rain is obvious and clearly seen on the photo, so it fits perfectly the brief. Beautiful tones of soft green in the background. The all yellow girl creates an exciting contrast.

A brilliant photo and instead of movement and rain the focus is perfectly sharp. Onecan sea clearly any detail on the bird, which in my opinion is perfectly placed in the photo. Wonderful the bokeh with a beautiful colour. And the interesting upper part of the post, which make the photo a wonderful tension

A wonderful photo showing real strong emotions of the ape. Brilliant sharp one can see any detail of the face. And the weather looks real uncomfortable, rainy and even cold. The expression of the face is extraordinary looking fully relaxed referently down into the water, as being real grateful to the warm water.
