Cheers ddraig :)
Actually, that was Reclaim the Streets' second street party in Angel Islington, back in the summer of 1995.


*wonders if it's ok to enter such an old photo...*
 
Thumbs updated, links added to the pics firk's didn't know how link and duplicates removed.

I'll do a quick tidy up later tonight before comp closes for this month.
 
Probably being the only person up at this time on a bank holiday I vote for:-

1) Street party II - Aurora Green
2) Second entry - Guerillaphoto
3) Rainy London Morning - Suzi

Notable mention to Disco_Dave_2000 for murdering someone to get his 3 pics :)

Jeez, my shortlist came to 8 pics! Ugh. It's been tough..

1) Street Party II - Aurora Green
2) Finalnd Jetty - Tom Craggs
3) Smaskifa - Chorlton


I don't using go for landscape stuff but it bit me this time ;)

Also really liked Cayo Utias, Cuba - Fingers. Really nice pic but it didn't say 'wet' to me.

( Stop raining - alef, I still don't understand that upside down grass thing:confused: )
 
I wasn't fond of this months theme, it was too broad a subject to concentrate on, if you know what I mean?

Anyway, what do I know, as it did indeed churn out some ace pics, with my favourite three being as follows.

1.rose - e19896

2.street party II - aurora green

3.Shelter - Firky / riot sky
 
1. Aurora Green – Street party II

2. Robster970 – voyeur

3. Riot Sky – shelter

I really liked Street Party... left me wanting to know what the story was behind the pic. Same with Shelter, really – why is that woman sitting in the pouring rain?
 
My three choices are as follows:-

1 dog - chooch
(that image is archetypal, curving across the frame one very wet dog reading from left to right from the head to the whiteness of the wagging tail pointing into the corner)

2 Shelter - Firky / riot sky
(There is no getting away from it this is wet, a typical heavy downpour that just leaves everyone stopping in their tracks and sitting down to shelter under the ubiquitous British umbrella

3 rose - e19896
(delicious image of a rose with water droplets - a characteristic after-the-rain image, so familiar a sight but in close-up more entrancing.

Hocus

I found it very hard to sort out just three this time. I had a shortlist of 15 before I got it down to these. I think if a did it again tomorrow I might choose another 3. There were some pictures that were 'better' for different criteria than the ones I finally chose but did not exemplify 'wet' - just had some water in.
 
1] exosculate - little fluffy cloud

I like the slighty washed out colours and the composition - it is like a cartoon cloud!

2] suzi - Rainy London Morning

Looks moody, the moisture on the lense is a bit of good luck, it looks like you're looking out from under a hood.

3] Sweet FA - Pool Light

Simple, but works - little too in the middle perhaps, but I still like it.
 
My Three are:

1 granny shower - tricky skills
2 body in bath - blackadder
3 crime scene - disco dave 2000

Thanks for the votes for mine people.. There is so much there i forget the name just inspired me to a join b post a image..

e19896
 
Aiiiee, so many piccies.

1) London Fields - Lighterthief - Really evocative of rainy days stuck inside.

2) Broken Washer - Kage - Clever and the drips are beautiful.

3) Alhambra - soulfulofsoul - I didn't see the ripples at first. Really lovely sunny image. You don't get that sort of light in the UK.

Also really liked outdoor shower - Sweet FA, granny shower - tricky skills, varanasi washing - thefuse and lots of others.
