Suburban Rain

Perhaps a bit brighter? My image I am seeing is much too dark around the edges. The street is well exposed, though.

I hope you got a lot of rain. That grass is really burned. The picture does show an obvious downpour, but perhaps more saturation would have brought out color a bit better. Also try in black and white, where you can show great contrast without compromising the detail of the picture. Even toning it to give a creative edge might be in order.

Afternoon Showers

The sun created a flare, which works in some compositions, but not in this one. Also the definition on the trees is very low. Sometimes a hood on the camera helps, but when it is directly pointed to the sun there is not much you can do to prevent flare. Try other angles and techniques until you find one that works for this type of photo.

Beautiful composition. Lighting is so warm and soothing, which rain can be at night as you go to sleep.

The bridge opened and the heavens did too!

too blurry. Also felt the contrast was too low.

Would have liked to see this one in color. Maybe after the challenge you can post it with this one and we can compare. Or you can send it to me as a private message. REally want to see a color image. Still the black and white was also quite good.

Wish I could speak Spanish, so you could read my comment. Marvelous soft focus, rain is well represented. The detail of the foreground is also good. Overall a very pleasing image.

All Day Drizzle

Composition was too spread out. Needed to bring the leaves in closer to the lily. Maybe a different angle. Loved the added soft focus.

Thought the motion was too much.

At the Scent of Rain

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.
