    This is really awesome! I like how you captured the rain, mid-air.

    Thanks guys! That umbrella was walking by really fast. I ran through the building to catch up with it.

    Really great pic, one of my favorite POTD's in a while, great lines, very NOIR and moody. I would have cropped just a bit off the top and right side to give it a rule of thirds presentation. Nice work!

    well deserved POTD, perhaps POTMonth! Ha! Great shot!

    Yay, thanks everybody and DCist! I knew I had something when I saw that umbrella go by. I'm actually surprised by how straight this came out because I was chasing down the umbrella whilst shooting. I try my best to compose in camera so no post-cropping here.

    And thanks for the crop suggestion. Constructive feedback is always welcome!
