Rainy day in Madrid. Shooting from the comfortable back sit of a taxi.

I really like the last one.
For some of the reasons given above, plus the water drops on the glass are less intrusive (I feel these add least to these images)

Thank you all for the comments and the Saul Leiter reference...

   Colin, I was trying so hard to get some droplets in the right place  ;D
   It was a fun, different -for me- and productive day image-wise. A couple more with even less information.

Wonderful idea for a lens filter! The sinister orange color and dark figures of number 2 is ominous and subsequently my favorite.

rain gives the windows the look of old glass, which then turns me to old paintings

wonderful moody images

thanks for sharing them Paco
