Description
Last weekend it poured in NYC. I ducked out of the rain into the foyer of the public library to find this archway and another wet soul also waiting for the rain to cease.This seems like a metaphor for my entire life...as a photograher I am always waiting for the sun...for that perfect light. As a human being, I am trying to weather the storm with the hope of better days to come.
Full view is nicer.

What a beautiful building. It seems so quiet and calm. I wish there were buildings like that in the town that I live.

Good capture (other than the chair that was previously mentioned).
The perspective is great. Well done.
As to the end of your comment: "Full view is nicer." Bumperstickers should be issued!

I just like the whole picture. The mood is just perfect in my opinion. I love the way the person is just sitting there unaware and waiting. Great Job

great shot. the perspective in my opinion is fantastic. i'm not sure about the half chair that is there too. i wonder how the pic would look like without it, or maybe that the chair is whole there.

A few months back, I read 'Being Peace' by Thich Nhat Hanh. It was very enlightening, and it spoke about being happy in the present time, that if we are always looking forward to the future or always looking towards the past, we wil never be happy now.
You have found that happy present in this beatiful capture and very thoughtful moment

The rain is inside our own hearts and souls.
It prevents us from seeing the light and what's beyond.
You made the structure look gorgeous. And somehow I can feel the loneliness and the desperation he is passing through.

Even with the rain somehow light is coming into this photo which is one thing that makes the photo. The other message I get is that there is a massive arch of structure rendering you poor subject immobile even though the light is right there in front of him and the giant lamp is the pending weight of his frozen thoughts. I see some one trapped within tenacious preconceived boundaries.

Spectacular shot. The architecture is overwhelming, the lighting great, and the tones very expressive. I love the concept behind it too.

i really like the placement of the person in this shot. it really shows the expanse of that archway.
but don't worry, as a big black bird once said, "it can't rain all the time"...
