I’m trying to understand what makes images that stand out for me like this one and whether this is the same for everyone.

Pretty pointless nondescript water drops on glass in front of a small (1%of photo) black figure, bang in the middle of the frame. Very little to see besides the drops due to mist on the glass or in the surroundings.

What makes this a standout is the red umbrella the person carries and their evident battle to get out of the rain.

Why not use a comment to put your feelings down or send in your photo and short comment.
