Great exposure and colors. A higher vantage point would be useful if such exists. A 7.

Your main subject is too dark... My eyes went straight to the sign, which is not so impressive for architecture!

I can't find any technical nits: nice use of backlighting and aperature size to make the limb stand out from the background. Compositionally, the image doesn't do much for me. The tones of the branch blend with the tones in the background. Nothing really pulls my eye away from the specular lights on the thorns. The red tip is nicely placed, but again, not saturated enough to demand attention. The black blur in the background, angainst the highlighted tan, pulls the eye more.

Just my opinions, of course.

If the dance was to MAKE the rein, looks like it worked! If it's celebrating the rain, that worked even better! It would have been nice to have more of your rain dancer in sharp relief, but the dof obviously slowed your shutter speed down - I like it a lot, even if some would see it as flawed. 8

Looks impressionistic. Interesting filter and nice touch.

It's an arresting shot, but doesn't say much to me about the architecture. Of course, in this case there's perhaps not much to say. 5.

This is a great photo. It's one of those ones where is so good you wish it was perfect. I'm thinking about the spacing of the pillars, and the door in the background not being dead centre etc. This is just nit picking though. In my opinion this is still among the very best in this compo.

This shot would've have been really great if it was more in focus!
