It was a cold and rainy day...

This is Yonge and Dundas Square today... so different from Friday when the hashmob was there... i know i shouldn't drool over my own photos, but can i just say that altho' i am not sure the composition and cropping are the greatest, i am totally in love with the red umbrellas and their reflections, and the motion blur in the guy with the umbrella :)

if the "license plates and cars that wear them" thing amuses you at all, i posted another one in my other album, plus the link to the ones i've "collected" so far in flickr

I was immediately drawn to all the things your "totally in love with" in the photo. Really, really nice street capture, northy!

[Tams]

Cool shot!

[Stacey]

Yep, the red really adds to the photo. Nice shooting!

[Jeff Walker]

love the reflections and how the only part of the man that is in focus is his leg. cool!

[Paula]

Love the reflections on the ground. Beautiful shot.

[scooter]

Fabulous!! Love the reflections! It looked like that here today too!

[Sharon Lee]

Very cool, love the closed red umbrellas and their refections

[Disha Parekh]

Great capture of movement and a rainy day! Love it.

Drooling over your photo's is fine, drooling over one's camera is not so cool though, and drooling in public is a definite no no ;) Good shot this, I like it

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fantastic. I think the composition is great. Love the little splashes of red, the blurred reflection on the rain soaked pavements and the motion blur of the guy with the umbrella. Cool shot xx

[Jenn]

Fav. Such an ambience of the city.

@shadesofgrey I don't think it was me. I would prolly still be crying a little because I get such a sad talking about phones.

Love this shot!

@38mm y'well, i do try to avoid drooling in public... and definitely don't drool on the camera, 'cos, y'know, that might hurt it or something ;p

@shadesofgrey @beautifulthing

Shades, i think we ended up hijacking one of Shelly's posts to discuss the iphone... could do know latest prognostication is that iphone5 isn't coming any time soon - 'cos i broke down last week and picked up the 4S ;p

wow! tx so much for the lovely response... i really appreciate it so much! (especially on this one... my 12 year old was totally underwhelmed by this photo ;p)

[☠northy]

@shutterbugger hee hee... yeah... in pizzaville... i kept wondering if that line would resonate anywhere else!

[Shades of Grey]

Bummer....6 or 7 months and you could've had the hot new iPhone5 in your hands! ;p
