Hong Kong Rainstorm

Heavy rain in Central, Hong Kong. I wasn't in a rush to head out in the rain and the water running down the window pane caught my eye as I was walking through the pedestrian overpass.

I like the mood and the sky light but I'm not convinced by the picture as a whole.

Like colors and film related texture, but perspective lines gives a certain claustrophobic atmosphere...

The mood saves it, even if it isn't technically perfect.

ancawonka says:

I like the mood here very much, and the colors of the lights in the city. I can't quite figure out how you took this shot, but that's part of the fun.

.....Oooooohhh! .....Aaaaaaaahhh!

tallkev says:

Thanks so much for the kind comments and for the 'bring you back to earth' comments from the people at deleteme! and thanks to ancawonka for the top-v_aa badge. A great honour! This was taken from one of the many elevated covered walkways that keep you out of the rain and humidity and traffic fumes in Hong Kong.
