Thank you (sometimes i don't go out. Just looking for something interesting in The house). I would suggest to everybody to try a 365 project. It really helps.While I like the reflections in the wet...
Also FWIW I applaud you for the discipline to get out & shoot every day
Thank you. I was close to a column in a spot where people passed from a roofed/covered area to The outdoor raining. I guessed interesting things could happen and...here we are.I found myself gazing at this one for quite a while. I like the "peep" into the store door and the texture of the wet pavement. I also love the irony!
A poet once wrote that it isn't the business of the poet to seek publication, but merely to write. The meaning of course was that the notion of writing with a view to a garnering approval from a publisher - or readers for that matter - would colour the work. It's not too dissimilar to one of the basis tenets of quantum physics, that the very act of observation alters the outcome.
With all due respect, does it really matter what others think of your work? You could put up lesser known images by Man Ray, Cartier-Bresson, Adams, Weston, Strand, White, etc and doubtless you'd receive a number of responses from the unwitting rendering unfavourable views - that's just human nature. Not that long ago someone set out to make a point about artistic assessment by sending an extract from Joyce's Ulysses to various publishers under the guise of being a new author seeking publication, and with all but 2 - 3 exceptions none recognized the writing nor took up the opportunity to publish the 'new' author.
While it's always useful at times to receive a constructive assessment of your work from someone who's views you respect and trust, ultimately you really have to stay true to yourself, hone your talent with practice, and continue to study the work of those you admire. Once you get to a certain point in your development you'll 'know' if something works or not. If you start worrying too much about what others may say you'll end up tailoring your images to please them (or to deflect criticism) and end up losing your own photographic identity.

Beside that, you could really copy/paste your comment after the pictures of EACH member of this forum, because everybody shares the photo also because is pleasant that somebody else takes time to give you help and feedback. That said, you comment comes after my "thank you" statement, so I am curios what in my post gave you this idea.
i think i might like the color than the bw. The bw seemed to be trying to hard to make it interesting. while this is still not extremely great, the color brings more life to the frame. two cents, may not get you far.
