 since its summer right now, all my rain ideas were staged... haha, i had a couple, and i shot them, this idea came out best though...

i set up a sprinkler at dusk and put a gerainium (sp?) in our neighbors bird feeder... lol, the only thing i really dislike about this shot is the huge rain drop i tried to clone down a bit... i thought that the drop took away from the flower too much, although my cloning might have done so as well...

This shot has grown on me. Nice movement and natural color. The highlights are a little harsh, but I like the composition a lot. Good job.

interesting. i think having the water in focus more would have made it better tho.

Another wet flower shot. There is some action to it, and I think this setup was a very good idea. I'd prefer a dof to include the foreground water in focus.

It is raining, but subject and composition are not there for me.

I like the colors, especially the red against the dark stone. Nice dof too. The background could be more interesting, or maybe shot from a different angle.

very nice DOF, contrast of the red vs. the muted foreground, and the rain in the background looking like string coming down from the sky. one of the better submissions.

Nice perspective... I find the rocks a bit distracting.

Great focus and exposure. The red really stands out against the other more neutral colors. Emotional shot -- kinda like being beat down by the circumstances around you, but still trying hard to be beautiful.

So interesting and different. The red makes a wonderful bit of POW amidst the browns and grays. Very clever entry.
