This one is great, Don. It speaks to me, actually. Makes my skin crawl. Sorry, can't say it any better.

This one works well - combination of the drops and the post-pro.

Damn, this one gets me... The first I looked, I thought: oh, another watercolour effect... cool. Then I look again, and no, it's just a combo of the rain and the drab background that give the effect... Fabulous! I also really the contrasting brightness of the top-left corner and the bottom-right... the mural, the silhouette, the bright stripes... it's great!

Exactly how much post-pro was done on this, if any!

I'm not revealing my bag of tricks. lol

Cailean, Don has for quite some time been intriguing us with his incredible style. We're perplexed yet amazed! Personally I enjoy not knowing what Don does to his images, it adds to the intrugue and fantasy of the images.

Don, I really like this shot. Are those spots of rain on the bus window? I also like how I THINK I see figures out there on the sidewalk, but I can't be sure. This makes the photo very pleasant to look at; it makes me chuckle. And am I correct to say that you're shooting at 21mm, in 35mm terms? That's WIDE! I'm jealous... I get a meager 35mm with my big brick of a camera...

Good point about the figures matt... very mysterious

[Don Schaeffer]

Thanks Matt. I use a .6x auxillary on my equiv 35 to 105 mm lens. I don't know exactly what this was shot at. But I love the effect of wide angle.
