first: check your spelling before you submit!!
now that we have that out of the way... at first I didn't like this picture because of the unusual framing, but after a minute I realized that the picture wouldn't work any other way, and started to develop appreciation for its cleverness. it's well pulled off, and I like the fact that it stretches the boundaries of acceptable editing. nice work.

This is an interesting idea, and the final composition is original. I am not sure abot the final outcome though. I have looked at this a number of times and am still unsure if I like it.

Th colour square has good lighting, but the B?W seems strangly dull by comparrison. I perhaps would have gone with a sepia rather than B/W

i do not care for this frame within a fram thing at all. It does not add to the compoition imho. Were there no altenatives to creating the illusion of rain in the camera?

You're probably not gonna like this comment, however I feel compelled, when commenting, to say it the way I see it. IMHO you have violated the spirit of the DPC community. This is not the Digital Graphics Art Challenge site, it's Digital Photography Challenge sSite. I believe that this would be a simple snapshot without the major element of the frame that you added. I also believe that you have not honored the spirit of the challenge which is to PHOTOGRAPH an illusion. This illusion is totally created in post processing. In other words, you attempted to take a rather boring shot and create something out of it. Putting that aside for a moment, your frame within the frame appears to be rather forced and awkward. It doesn't lift the shot, it distracts. Given all of this, I'm afraid that I can not give you a very high score. In another forum, it may have done well...
