I don't know what to make if this image. I don't know what that thing is. The day looks wet and dreary though and you're brave to go out photographing in it.

This image is rather strange in that at first glance there is nothing to like.....but I like it anyway. It sets a mood of mystery. The shower has prescence of dread.

It is a shower at a beach.

I think it needs to be lightened up a tad.

It is indeed a shower at a beach (Elwood Beach in Melbourne). My intention was to try and capture that moment when on a freezing cold day, you have to face the horror of using cold water.

Ah, I haven't seen one of those before. I thought the cold shower was a reference to the weather. I learn something new everyday.

For some reason i do kind of like the image, even if it's cold and dark. Perhaps it's indicative of winter.

I agree. The distant pole in the mist adds to that mystery.

add a person int he background would be cool

Yeah I was thinking about that. If I could have an old guy in speedos and a swimming cap heading towards the water, it would have been perfect.

Something the north welsh would not understand. We dont have a decent bridge to look at, nor a pile of broken egg shells in the shape of a hall.

Although, the dark and dreary picture does epitomise todays climate

back on topic of your image, I like it.

As you said, you wanted to capture that one day a year we have when its raining in Melbourne, and you have done it well. Good timing!
