Norbs - I like the composition of this shot and my only critique would be to clone out the smudging in the bottom right

Very nice! I like the composition,... the black & white suits it. Even the blurry... things.. .in the bottom right corner to me kind of keep it 'real' rather than looking excessively staged. Was this part of a larger series of shots?

The blurry things are actually clouds.
Wasn't staged, just walked past a shower at Narooma. The rest of the trip can be found here...

Norbs - Great work, simple and effective. I would leave out the border or change it somehow, I think it destracts from the greatness of your image rather than enhances it. Keep em comin

I like it I think you've used the negative space brilliantly to add to the impact of the shot. Some may have considered cropping it but I think its strongest the way it is. I checked out your gallery you've got some nice shots.

Ah! In that case leave the clouds in - hard to see in B&W that they were clouds

Is there a colour version to this pic? Either way I think it's capture brilliantly!

Sorry PiroStitch, I cant seem to find the colour version. Will fire up the laptop tomorrow and see if it is still on there.

Great shot - I love these 'simple' ideas found on the spur of the moment. The only thing for is that I would have liked the shower head a bit brighter - the shadows seem to lose some of the detail. But that's me.
Great shot.
