DP Now Competition number 115 - Rain

[Barr1e]

Salcombe estuary in the rain

[Gentle.Ivy]

Hi everybody!

Today is time for me to pick a winner of this salon.
It was a difficult task not only because each presented picture is interesting in its own way but also because two pictures that I liked very much and would like to pick as winners I couldn't, to be just. As I could not decide what to do I asked my 11y.o. son for his opinion and he concluded that no matter how good, they were taken AFTER the rain, so do not completely fit the subject. These two are:

Geoff's breathtaking panorama from Derbyshire



and Horacio's non-standard way of looking at ordinary things



And now to the pictures where its raining.

Third place I would like to divide between Kurt's stormy "Beside the seaside" and Yoshi's peaceful and cheerful pond with waterlilies.

Second place goes to Barr1e's Salcombe estuary. I could not help feeling that I've seen an old painting exactly like this somewhere .



And the winner is Autumn's "Wet Day in London"! Very cheerful, colourful and busy picture, despite the weather






Well done, everybody. And thank you!

Thanks Svetlana for running the challenge.

I'm most pleased with my placing, especially as I was having difficulty finding an image in the computer to suit the theme. I possibly had many in the old machine which hasn't been used since I installed this new one some months ago.

Very well done to the runners up.

Congratulations Audrey on your 1st place. I can see why this was the winning entry.

Regards. Barr1e

Congrats to all, especially Audrey. I saw her picture when I was about to upload a grey dismal horrible day in Escravos with rain running off the roofs and just decided then that she was winning so never bothered. A really lovely picture.

[Kurt]

Congratulations to everyone for some interesting images. And thanks very much for the unexpected placing, I am not sure that I deserved it among such strong competition.

Thank you Svetlana for running the challenge and placing my entry first. There were many good entries so it was a wonderful surprise. Congrats to the runners up too.

I will have a think about the next challenge and post it later.

A good number of entries, and it must have been a hard choice. Congratulations to all who placed, and in particular to Audrey for a cracker of a shot. (And like Ian, I wondered if you'd enter that...)

Oh, thanks a lot for choosing my entry one of the runners-up.
