Rain on their parade

People gathering for the Canada Day Parade in Fort Saskatchewan. Originally I thought that the colour version, with bright umbrellas would be a jolly counterbalance to the dreary rainy conditions.

But then I thought a damp blue tint would reinforce the awful conditions. If you look carefully, you might spot the optimistic expression that it would all blow over (which I'm pleased to say that it did). Thought this would be suitable for a 'weather' themed contest: rain, puddles, damp people. Enjoy (only if wearing wellies).

Fantastic and unusual image, I love it. It's really interesting that they stay there in the rain. Very nice and clear capture.

It would make a good entry for the contest, John. The only time I would venture out in the rain would be to golf. :)
I do like the tinting you used.

I've always loved the umbrella shots in the rain, this is very interesting. I like the woman on the far left. Her cloak really adds to the shot. Everyone else had wet pants from the knees down!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

An interesting colour tint that helps set the mood for the shot. I like the reflections and clarity in the capture. A great job!
