  Thanks to all for your comments on this shot! I took it from the car so was very happy that it came out quite this well. I did use multiple effects in order to improve the color, light and mood. I'm discovering that some of the best photos can be taken in the rain. Thanks again! (Still catching up on comments.. )

Nadya Johnson
  Thanks so much to all EXTREMELY, for your comments on this photo!! Just discovered now that it's a finalist; haven't been through the others yet but a HUGE congratulations to ALL!! Actually to EVERYONE, whether on the list this month or not because really, all your work is tremendous friends, and I am convinced sometimes it's a matter of re-submitting in another category or of making very minor changes. This one was taken from the MOVING (!) car - in the rain - so needless to say, I am quite thrilled and surprised it made the list! Thanks again so much because without the site and without your support and input (and without my photo-friends!) I know I never would have had the courage to even submit a photo from the moving car!! That's what it's all about I think - inspiration, sharing and encouragement! (Photoshop is essential also, for a shot like this as without it, I'm pretty sure it would have hit the trash bin. I have finally learned not to delete except in absolutely hopeless cases, since with this, I very nearly did!)
