Excellent reflection. That pavement pattern is very intersting, especially since it's wet. A high contrast B&W, just how I like them (not much grey, that is!).

knockout combination of timing, framing and exposure. you have the knack for putting it all together; making it seem as natural as breathing, day in and day out, image after image.
cheers, bluechameleon, excellent work!

For some photographers, a rainy or cloudy weather is a beautiful weather, as present image demonstrates.
Terrific.

I especially like the high/strong contrast in this photo, and the face that you also have a lot of detail and was able to get that shadow.

Could it be because you live in rainy city? : )
You have a great eye to spot these shots, love this. Looks like rain gave you a beautiful reflection, why not love it.

Extraordinary image...and a favorite for me. Love the bicycle and the shine of the wet pavement. (Had to laugh at myself when I read your title. Sometimes I feel like there's a little rain cloud just over my head:-)

I can bring nothing to the plethora of praise other than echoeing Mr Rawluk's comments, this cries out to be printed, framed and enjoyed

I enjoy looking at this photo purely because of the historical feeling it gives me. Seems like this photo can be pulled out of a World War II film or something with the bike reflection from the drips of rain. Such a splendid capture! I love it!

@Liang: Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Since I tend to (try) to live in the past, photographically speaking that is, I'm so happy to hear you got a sense of what I was trying to create! Thanks again (so much!).
Cheers!

its really catchy but the chopping of the weels is a bit too tight mind you the reflection goes well with this..
