  • Fabulous shot!
  • You captured the rain beautifully in this shot. Amazing :)
  • Your picture is amazing... I love this one because I walk there every evening, going back to work. And it's often pouring of course. And being French I am not AT ALL used to girls dressed like this when it's raining...
    Keep capturing the atmosphere of the city!!
  • Nice ......so cute....
  • i doo like this some what... i can imagin those type of ladys being rather perturbed
  • Lee
    Awesome...
  • very good job!
  • Whats the Exif on this ? Im curious to know the settings you used to get this great rain shot.

    Wow - brilliant capture!
  • Terrific shot. It captures a little bit of the 'joy' of such a downpour. Great fun and a great catch.
  • Wow. I had no idea that this would be as popular as it was. It was a completely insane afternoon and I was standing in the middle of the street, soaking wet looking for a shot and this was it. My gear was soaked. I did nothing to keep it dry as I wanted to get shots.
  • Nice shot - I like the energy of it.
  • great shot ! interesting composition, and very eye-catching. i have featured this image/your site in my recent posting "20 Awesome Photoblogs".check it when you have a moment. keep up the great work!
  • Amazing shot Pete, I love the vibrancy of the rain and the laughter - great capture :)

    A beautiful image, very beautiful scene, magnificent colors.
  • That is amazing!!!
  • A great mood here. Rainy days in England can seem dreary, but you've changed all that with the fun Liverpool crowd and a really nicely lit scene. Rainy days in England... Big Fun! Really nice shot
  • Excellent. I love the mood. They seem pretty happy even in the torrential downpour. There is a lot of energy in this shot.
  • Fantastic capture, excellent timing. I really like the whole bunch of details in there.
    But how did you keep your equipment dry?
  • I agree with the others - great shot. It's hard enough at the best of times to take a photo of the rain. To be lucky enough to get a candid moment in frame as well takes good timing and skill.
  • @PH - No HDR on this one. The new shopping area in Liverpool has huge windows so on a night like this they put out quite a bit of light. Makes for a great photo.
  • Beeeeeautiful shot. Captured the mood really well. Good stuff mate.
  • PH
    This is a very interesting picture! I never saw a such light with rains! Pete, I suspect that you applied some HDR technics? I would be interested to have some hints on the approach you used.

    Thanks again,

    Wow, that's great. With the way the light is and everything those girls almost stand out from the background.
  • Nice street scene ! I like it
  • A great picture, it almost looks like one of the old impressonist oil painintgs.

    Great work

    A fine spontaneous feeling shot of these girls having a ball in the rain. How you managed to get this shot and keep the equipment dry would be a interesting. :-) Added this to my vfxy collection.
  • great capture! There isn't much to do than laugh or cry in a situation like this and laughter is so much fun :-)
  • I've never managed to capture rain in such a magnificent fashion as this - not getting that much rain here in the first place doesn't help my cause :-)

    Great lighting, composition and subjects!
  • Ray
