very creative. However, the top half of the photo depicts no rain...I see you imporvised but perhaps if you would of gotten some top spray it would appear that it was raining...nice creativity , congrats on another winner. |

Great shot. I wonder why 21 people (6%) voted this 4 or below? Would be good if the top 5% and bottom 5% were discarded when working out averages. Anyway congratulations on the 2nd place.
Edit
I worked out average scores removing the top and bottom 5% and then 10% and the score only rose by less than 0.1 in both cases so I guess the low scorers are balanced out by the high scorers!

That is an AMAZING shot I love the two light sources, that's a professional setup and it shows good planning and execution. It really bugs me that it's centred. Not because that's a "rule" but because it's composition is "off" a little, there is more impact available there which is the only reason it gets a 9 instead of 10 |

Great way to capture the rain! I love how her dress stands out against all the black and grey! She should be inside having fun and it looks like that is where she would rathter be!!! Crisp and sharp, Awesome job... 10! |

I love the fact it only looks like it is raining under the umbrella. Also glad the stick of the umbrella is not right in the middle of her face. Nice shot.

Fantastic idea! I was thinking something similar but never got around to trying it. I like that you use a younger subject, I think it works quite well for the playful mood. I question your choice of background, though your excellent lighting keeps the focus on your main subject. Nice job! 8o) |

Very nice! I almost moved on thinking "average" until I looked twice and noticed the rain from under the umbrella - what a great idea! it's a shame that the right-hand side seems to be unbalanced with regard to the amount of water shown |
