Wide view from far away of a 21-year-old woman standing under the awning of a closed corner bakery during a sudden downpour, looking up at the rain with her hands clasped around a paper bag. Water drips in a thick stream from the metal awning edge, and a single wet leaf is stuck to the sidewalk pavement. The glass door behind her reflects the dark, stormy street. The 85mm lens is positioned a few metres away, compressing the background and rendering it soft. The heavy overcast sky provides soft shadowless light and muted colours. The composition features strict symmetry, with the main figure placed on the centre line. The woman has deep espresso-brown skin, a petite frame, and is tall in stature. She has an angular face with hollow cheeks, warm brown eyes, and soft rounded eyebrows. Her hair is a smooth shaved head dyed cherry red, tucked under a knitted beanie. She wears cat-eye glasses, a floral midi skirt, and a tucked-in black T-shirt. She is singing loudly with her eyes closed and her chin up, her face turned upward toward the rain. The scene is isolated by the distance, emphasizing the solitude of the figure. Shot on a digital SLR camera, the image shows a shallow depth of field, muted color palette, and a sharp focus on the subject against the blurred rainy background.
