Congratulations Willie on winning the Rain or Snow contest. I loved this shot, it jut made me smile when I first reviewed the entries :))

I do have a questions for you? Photomatrix, you use it on a single image right? Seeing this makes me think I need to rethink getting it :))

Thanks for joining in the fun and thanks for having many contests as well.

Thank you so very much! I use photomatrix for most images that is underexposed or if I want a different look. Most of the time I will add Topaz adjust after the tone mapping. I have never used it for HDR. For that you would have to use three images. I have only used it for single images. Take a look at "the River"" I used these programs for that one too.

Excellent subject and great story! Used to love to stomp in puddles when I was a lad. Nice colors and great action. Nice capture!

He'll be in trouble with Mom, about that wet shoes. Let's not spoil his fun, though. He seemed to be dancin' in the rain. Love the sight. Reminds me of my childhood days, where I would dance in the rain, and dive in the puddles. Well captured and is surely an image with a story to tell.
