If there's any rain in this photo, I can't see it. Not a bad photo, though the light could stand to be a little less intense.

Love the blue green tones. The sofness gives it an almost "midsummer night's dream" effect. The lantern is a nice touch.

A different lighting position would have helped this shot. With the shadows the way they are the illusion is lost.

6 - Good effort to meet the Challenge, especially in a true time capsule sense. Criticism; in my opinion this would be a more 'interesting' picture if you had composed it / arranged slightly differently. For me, nothing really 'stands out'. The coloring is good, but the blend of colors (in my opinion), just isn't 'bold' enough - not sure how to describe it, sorry. I think you captured the essence of 'youth' in this year well, just as I said, maybe a different angle, crop, layout, would have made this a better photograph in my opinion.

IMHO you have too many ellements in the shot making it look a little cluttered. I think just the two figures on the stairs and one other thing would make this a more potent entrie...
