hmm, I like it. Th e whole runnng home buisness is a little scarry, because they are rain drops. They'll be running home a lot what with evaporation and cendensation and all that stufff. This is visually stunning. And I can't say much more... I guess I'm a little fried, I'll come back and look deeply into it one of these days.

Im just wondering..did you play with the shutter speed to achieve this?Cos its great

Nope, just a normal shot. It looks soft because I shot through a car wind shield, I suppose.
Thanks for checking it out.

Very nice man, is this one of the famous in the car shots? I like this a lot!
The distortion of the tree due to the water is lovely, very nice. I don't know what else to really say.

Hey, you gotta new camera!? That's fricken awesome. You know, when you said 'running home' I figured it was something like a person running towards home in the rain, but then the tree really stuck out there, because it didn't fit in! Heh.
Did the camera get wet?! o.O;

Damn... had to wade through all the other comments to make mine. 
This is great. If it were in color, it would look like a watercolor painting. I love the abstract feel. The more I think about it... I think I'd like to see it in color more.

very nice shot. simple but so nice. i love how the waterdrops twirl the tree. well done

as you already know, i like it
it has so much impact, the tree is so dfinite, and the equal space on all sides helps this - although it may have beniffited form a tighter crop, leaving that stuff out from the bottom.
contrast is great through out although seeing the water drops in focus is kind of distracting... i still love it

So simple yet a beautifully unique capture Nate. I love the b/w tones as it gives a true sense of a cold rainy day, overcast and dreary. The tree is almost so perfectly distorted I looked at the thumbnail and thought you had used a PS filter, haha.
Great peice bro.

i do like rain photos. i like this one alot because it reminds me of school days. rainy stinky rotten old school days. also it reminds me of splashing in puddles. thats alot more fun.
the reflection you got is very good. i was staring at it for a while trying to figure it out

Ya know, what I like most about your comments is that you relate them to real life memories.. That's cool.

quiet, expressive, loud, and bold.
Just a few of the things that popped into my head when I saw this. The use of what appears to be a car window splattered with rain to distort the image allows for a stunning enhanced photo. You've got a great blend of contrast between tree, sky, and water. All blending into a pretty damn good shot.
My little brown felt hat goes off to you!
Excellent shot

Twas a rain-splashed window, indeed. I'd like to experiment with it more, if it ever rains again.
I tip my little pink bonnett to you, sir.

I love the water effect on the glass...makes the tree look so amazingly surreal!!

That's really awesome. I love all the water. Did you spray the camera or something?
Nice job Nate
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh, no spraying. Shot from within my car, looking through the windshield. No worries, I was parked.

This is a technique that I will never grow tired of seeing - the different types of patterns that you can obtain each time are wonderful. I'm not a fan of square cropping - but I do like the cropping job that you've done here - it works well, as the entire shot is balanced - and nothing feels like it's been sacrificed at the same time. Great contrasts and lots of crisp details on the water and tree - what type of film did you shoot with?

Just used plain old Kodak TMAX 400. Next trip to the photo store, I'm picking up some real b&w film, though. A little bit of digital processing can really fix crappy Walgreen's 1-hour developing.
Thanks for the comment! Always means something coming from such a talented photographer.

Looks like a charcoal drawing or something. 'Six Feet Under' comes to mind, but I don't like that show anyways.
I like this though,
Well done.

First off, thanks for the encouraging comment. If I can get my hands on a piece of glass and water, I'd be set.

WOW, this is stunning~ i love the whole concept of it and in balck and white it's mind blowing in its simplistic beauty. If there is one critical comment i can make is that it might.... i say MIGHT be a bit too uniform if u get what i mean (now i love it like this, there's the amazing contrast and the mystery and the power... wow the POWER in such a barren land....) but some (not me, who loves it like this) may say that nature should not be uniformed (hasten to add that i am not one of these)... BAAAAA~ there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this *so jealous* it's beautiful and strong adn packs a right punch and *sad face* it makes me feel bad.... OK there, u have it, u got it out of me... *breaks down*

I can see what you mean about the uniform concept.. Nothing really jumps out from this picture, but I guess that's just what makes it what it is.. That calming effect of just going home, with no interruptions of sort.
Thanks for keeping me amused while reading this.
