Neaat impressionistic effect, great job making it POP.

Nice job; from experience I know how hard it is to frame a usable shot under these conditions. I might have shortened the title to "driving rain" for greater impact (yes, pun intended).
Drive carefully!

Did you know there's a whole website devoted to photos taken through the windshield of your car?

Interesting effect here, almost like something that you'd apply with PS. Really neat to see that it can be done naturally, in the shot itself!

is that a legal filter? interesting effect either way.

Interesting and highly stylized image. Well composed. Hope it was done in the camera and if so, congrats on a great capture and presentation.

I think technically this is a pretty good shot. The subject matter, however, is not that interesting to me personally. You've got good color, lines, and "mood".

Nicely composed, but not much interest for me.

Fun shot, and something that I thought there would be more of. One would perhaps like there to be even more spray from the truck, but you've certainly caught a mood.

Great. 8

This looks like a software program that makes the image look like it's raining. However, I promise not to score based on that - but others may (this place can get downright picky when it comes to suping up photos with PhotoShop tricks). I do want to say though that I think a better composition would have been one where the truck was coming at us. As it is now, you have used effective composition for movement - you can understand the motion of the vehicle because there's room at the front implying where the truck is traveling to... however, I think it would have been more effective employing almost hte same composition, but the other way around (with th etruck coming at the camera) and with a bit of room in the front implying where the truck is traveling to.

Good photography to me is about capturing something you don't see everyday, or capturing the everyday in a new way and I don't see that here... this is something I see every time I drive in rain. I do think the almost filtered effect works well though.

i don't think the shimmery softness works well for me here, especially with the blown out section on the upper right corner. compositionally, this also feels awkward to me. 5
