Don,

They are really interesting photos.

I love the composition. I might have cropped it to remove the car. The 
lines of the roof really draw your eye the guy standing there with the 
dropped umbrella (presumably his) at the other end. It gives a hint 
about how long he has been waiting!

Where were you? Did you get soaked?

Opulent. Do you have any more? I'd be fascinated to see them.

I like this one, too. the way that you have framed the figure in the 
window works as doess the overall composition. I don't really know what 
I think about the crack of light. I just can't make up my mind about it.

My favourite? I think it's between the first and the the third. On 
balance, I think I'll go for "Waiting for the rain to end"; I really go 
for the detail of the dropped umbrella.

Regards,

Peter
