a Goddess, provoking a man to hesitate

so beautiful..

... she is very pretty...

:-)

agree!

and just below the beautiful bones.

He/She knew

incredibly beautiful details.... :)

The man seem more focused on the Photographer than the "goddess".

I like this white line

a Goddess, provoking a man to hesitate by FrizzText.

...some people put plastic bags over their heads, protecting themselves against the pouring rain, others ran into small shops, this woman left aristocratically with an English-style umbrella the Public Library, 42nd Street, Manhattan…

compare:
an old BLURB-book, where you can find this NY street-shot too......
www.blurb.com/books/60079

Joe Wig commented: ...She's the beauty who has to battle the elements. You can feel the wet environment The man's an afterthought. In fact, you wonder why he's slowing down since it IS raining.
comment by thorvaala: I suspect she's a goddess and that has caused the man to hesitate.
comment by theouterpoint: the mirrored strides and turned heads . . . And in their way, like the still figures on Keats' Grecian Urn.

Prestidigitizer says:

I'll join the ranks in saying this is beautifully captured. The woman's stride and posture is perfectly timed, and the mood is romantic in the rain.
I will be in the minority here, but I think the man in the T-shirt actually weakens the feeling. I think it's his apparel, not his presence.
Nonethelesss, I remain jealous of your shot.

I think there is something about the style of her dress too that could put this in the 40's -- a black dress and a black umbrella. Or maybe it juxtaposes two periods -- the scene this woman presents and then that guy looking up in jeans and a t-shirt!

The balance between the woman coming down and the man, possibly looking at her (from the right of the picture) is perfect, thanx to the column of light reflecting on the wet sidewalk, as if it were a carpet.
