This reminds me so much of the opening of some movies - but I can't remember which ones! (Maybe Spider-Man or The Matrix?) Anyway, it has a great feel to it and the fact that you only see reflections really adds to its mystery. Great job.

I don't think I can see any rain.
But, I really like the effect you have here.
The color is good also.
And the overall clarity of the image.

I like the abstract feel. Not a whole lot of specific interest, but general interst is good for me. I like the odd cyan hue too.

A unique and awesome shot. Though how can one tell that this is rain?

Love the effect. Compositionally needs an extra element IMO to make this a really strong shot. Maybe something to break up the reflection?

Great title. Very imaginative. I like the aqua/charcoal combination. This must be a reflection. WOW
