Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment

Weekly Photo Challenge: FLEETING MOMENT
U = UMBRELLA (a Goddess, provoking a man to hesitate)
photo for the “weekly photo challenge” community of dailypost / wordpress – picture was shot by FrizzText, click on the image to enter his flickr photo collection…
frizztext: some people put plastic bags over their heads, protecting themselves against the pouring rain, others ran into small shops, this woman left aristocratically with an English-style umbrella the Public Library, 42nd Street, Manhattan…
Joe Wig commented: …She’s the beauty who has to battle the elements. You can feel the wet environment The man’s an afterthought. In fact, you wonder why he’s slowing down since it IS raining.
comment by thorvaala: I suspect she’s a goddess and that has caused the man to hesitate.
comment by theouterpoint: the mirrored strides and turned heads . . .
comment by Isadora (read below): you wonder if, perhaps, the man wants to assist her down the wet steps…
compare: an old BLURB-book, where you can find this NY street-shot too… www.blurb.com/books/60079

    I remember seeing this photo before. It’s a very nicely captured photo. I would post something for the weekly photo challenge, but I am banned from the dailypost.wordpress site – they don’t like opinions there :)

    I always wonder why people run and hide from the rain. She’s got the right idea. Walk in beauty…

    She looks regal, just by her posture. And it doesn’t look like she’s hurrying ( I don’t know how I can tell that). Great photo!

    like some other bloggerss, I am of an opinion that this moment that was fleetingly caught calls for a story

    Very nice capture!

    I do not wonder at all that the man is slowing down! Rain, or no rain, he shows great wisdom in savoring this moment of viewing that grace with which this lady descends those steps in the rain! Such fleeting moments must be properly stored in the soul.

    nice shot

    Perfect timing! You got your fleeting moment photograph – and the man also seems to be experiencing a fleeting moment. Great photo!

    Excellent entry – you wonder if, perhaps, the man wants to assist her down the wet steps.
    Very nice ….

      perhaps, the man wants to assist her down the wet steps…
      P.S.:
      I saw her walking like a model on a catwalk – without any help :-)

    Frizz, love this photo which I think of every time I go near those steps. Her spirit, and yours, is very much present.
