Gloomy weather on rainy days is a great opportunity for us, photographers, to show scenes in a more interesting way, be it street, landscape or macro photography.
Apparently this challenge was greatly accepted according to the record number of beautiful and original submissions.

The winners with the most votes are:

1^st place:  Fernando Alves   
2^nd place: Nicodemo Quaglia  
3^rd place: Daniel Castonguay  

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions and thanks to all the participants in the contest 'RAIN'.

'FIREWORKS' is the currently running theme.
Photographing fireworks is challenging but a worthwhile experience.  Everybody can photograph them, all you need are a camera and a little bit of planning.
Unfortunately the promised article with tips couldn't be published last week due to unexpected circumstances. 

This contest will end at midnight on Sunday the 10^th of November.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.

Good luck to all the participants...

1st place: Fernando Alves

2nd place: Nicodemo Quaglia

3rd place: Daniel Castonguay
