nice concept, but not much is actually in focus besides the upper part of the main leaf and the leaf in the bg.

interesting use of blur....maybe a liiiiittle too much tho, but that might just be personal preference.

ummm....tho you can't really see whats in the pic, it DOES make an interesting abstract...unfortunately those don't usually do so well unless your entering the 'abstract' challenge :-P (doh)

cute use of kids, but i think you might have gone a bit overboard with the blurring of the background, and not having any actual rain in your pic will also hurt you score IMO. sorry ~3~ but practice makes perfect!! so keep at it and good luck :-))

Rain drop

Comment:
perfectly timed. tho, the flower's highlights seem just a little blown out it doesn't really detract from the image IMO. i also notice that the image has a lot of grain...i'm not sure whether this was intentional, or a result of oversharpening to make the water dropplet clearly visible, but i'm not really sure how i feel about it. all in all, tho, very good job and i hope you do well :-)

very nice. i love the shallow dof (blurry bg), it really pulls the attention to the umbrella. very simple, yet highly effective. good luck :-)

wow...what a beautiful image. i really love the use of editing used here too...kinds reminds me of heida's work, except for the non-icelandic surroundings. either way, great job, and good luck.
