Thank you all so very much for your varied comments and messages following yesterdays upload. It was really quite refreshing and somewhat educational as to what you thought regarding the so called 'rules'. I must also thank Fentiger (Albert) for pointing out that image number would benefit from further brightening, which I took on board and uploaded a variant. "As the saying goes you're never to old to **** things up"
Todays upload intended was captured on the Peninsula a little while ago after our first flurry of the white stuff, I rather liked the 50/50 split showing a divided emphasis on both the sky and the landscape.
This image however is 'Just Rain'.
Well I hope that you all have a great day ahead, for me shall be in my creative mode behind the Sewing Machine, knocking out more Owls and Elephants for the RBLI.
Regards as always Nathan

Lovely wet tones, Nathan, with the all-pervading chewing gum! A strong geometrical composition as well.
Dave
Superb shot Nathan, excellent textures and tones, i like the muted colours too, well spotted and captured
Hugh
What a novel and creative idea to take a photo like this Nathan !! I love the colour in this image !! We also had a strong downpour here yesterday, so much so that the gutters could not contain the water and it overflowed ! Enjoy creating them owls and elephants 
This is well observed and taken, Nathan. Do like the wet texture and the shapes in this shot. A great idea to depict 'rain' in this way - gives me some thoughts - thank you We are getting plenty of the wet stuff hereabouts, and could make a change from looking for water-drops!
Look after yourself - and happy sewing!

I very much like the minimalism and symmetry of this, the hint of the reflected wall behind. super collection of rain drop splashes and all superbly grounded in the drain at the centre.

The scourge of our time chewing gum it's every where; and shows the state of decline in this country, nice few splashes in the fore ground Nathan, good detail I think I would have cloned a few more in, not to many, a good composition well balanced, and good light, like it regards Leon.
The wet tones make things look like marble. Kate likes water soapy look shots.
But I will have to try processing them someday. I like that effect you have on yours.
Well done Nathan. WesternRed.
I would never have thought of a shot like this but like the comment from another, it gives one ideas, so thank you for that.
Love the rain splashes on the sidewalk.
Just shows that with a bit of imagination, satisfactory images can be obtained from perhaps the least unlikely sources, Nathan.

Down the drain. Where everything ends up eventually, including us.
Moira
Funny Nathan how some can see a photograph that others would just pass by, love the tones and composition.

Rain on stone, water on any surface brings out more visually it's textures as well as its colours. Nothing like taking a dry river rock and immersing it in water to bring out the colours.
We currently have dry river beds in our area; I would appreciate some of this sent our way.

The textures tones and shapes are well captured and make for an unusual but fascinating subject. Many years ago, when my children were young, one of them asked what you called those things the rainwater ran down. As a Glaswegian the only words that came to mind was "a stank". Couldn't think of anything else rather to my concern!
Ann
This would never have worked dry, Nathan. It has to have the rain to provide that extra colour and sheen.
Reminds me of a Citroen I had many years ago, Tried to sell it at auction and the clerk said "It's a sad old Citroen that looks better on a wet day".How true that was, it shone in the rain, as do the subjects of this image.
Malc
It maybe just rain Nathan but many would miss this capture you did'nt pleased to see that, good shot well framed in good detail.
John
I would have said "the all important drain" rain it might be but without the drain it might be a tad less interesting, good tones and textures here Nathan
What a great idea Nathan, I would never have thought of this for shot, but it works REALLY well.
John
a good shot keep the camera dry well done.
billy
Glad to see that your enthusiasm for photography hasn't drained away!
