Not one for the literalists I'm afraid.
Most of the state is in drought so I went a different route.

Nice soft focus and I love the colours and silhouettes!

Unusual presentation of what looks like a very opportune capture; nice combination of sharp and soft elements.

Fantastic Image. Appears to have too much ?pincushion? distortion - can you correct that with a lens calibration for distortion? Color/Tone is outstanding. You may have some difficulty meeting the challenge theme - but this image is worth submitting. Good luck.

This could be "Scary Movies" - aka The Birds - love the image, though I'd crop a bit off the top.

love this. the blue tins in the windows is great, and it has a softness to it that i love.

I am not sure where the rain fits into this shot..having said that it is beautiful! I scrolled down and looked at it with the bottom inch off..just the frame itself not the trim and personally like it this way even better.I think you might want to straighten it a bit too. Picky yes, but with this shot it is worth it...

This is a nice shot, but the title is the only strong link between the challenge topic and the content of the image.

It's nice to see a few symbolic shots among all of the literal interpretations. This is very, very well done. I'm not sure how I would improve it.

This is a lovely photo. Amazing really. But its missing rain. I really want to vote this a 10 based on what a good photo it is. But Its really a hard decision based on the fact that its missing water. I consider myself to be an out of the box thinker, but this stretches it a little too much and wouldnt be fair to the other entries in my opinion. Hope you understand what I mean here. 8

"Be careful with your equipment this week as you search out your best photo of rain." Sorry, but I don't see any rain here. It's a good shot and I love the colors & focus, but...

Wow, very cool shot. Has nothing to do with rain.

very cool pic! no sign of rain, besides your title, but cool non the less.

I dont know how this connects to rain but it is an excellent shot in of itself. Has a real Hitchcock feel to though I'm sure that has been mentioned numerous times. You have portrayed an eerie stillness in this image. Good luck!

I like the framing and abstract feel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like this, but it doesn't indicate rain, even if one uses ones imagination or the birds as a metaphorical interpretation, it still doesn't hit me. But it's still a good shot. A little cloning needed though, to clean some of the blotches.

Very cool shot. I love the added softness. Makes it look surreal. I think it is a likely candidate for a challenge entitled Alfred Hitchcock. I gave it a 6 because I don't think I see rain in it. I am putting it in my portfolio as a favorite, though.

I love this picture. It's so stark and unsettling, and both stirs and challenges the imagination of the viewer. That's my definition of worthy art. The slight 'reverse pincushion' effect of the window frame doesn't diminish it; I think it actually contributes. I'm not even too bothered by the fact that you've had to use your title to try to bash it into fitting inside the challenge. 9

What a beautiful, creative image!!! My only suggestion for improvement -- and, hey, what do I know? -- would be to crop it closer at the top and bottom so you just had the window fill the frame. Excellent image!!

Quite an image. 7

Without the title this doesn't say rain to me, but I don't care, its an amazing image and I hope you share where and how this was taken.

VERY nice...great effect

i like the frame, it's nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/16/2005 12:59:18 PM
Quite the shot. I think the attempt to associate this with rain is a real stretch, but I'm not going to worry about that little detail. 7

I love the shading in this photo. Love how the sky has a reflective gradient (dark at top and bottom & light right in the middle). This looks like a painting rather that a photo..The subject of the photo has the ability to carry many different meanings to different people which makes is great. Nice job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/16/2005 10:07:55 AM
Really nice image! you might try cropping off the bottom and top to the immediate window sashes. I fear this won't do well because it doesn't scream "rain," but I love it. 8
