Macro shot of raindrops on the window, with my reflection in the window (4.5 seconds, F7.6). Adjusted levels, contrast, convert to grayscale, colorize purple (global), raised saturation, resize, unsharp mask, and save to 150k. All adjustments were global changes.

Composition (content) Nice composition, I like it how the light works here, it leads the attention to the face. The raindrops add a good texture, they look nice in this state. Raindrops running down the window, wouldn't have been nice at this shutter.
The face makes the picture, it is an interesting element, portrayed in an original way. The purple edges in every drop is also very nice.
Was the window dirty? In the face area there are some strange stripes / smears, it is a little bit distracting as it is an unnatural element in this composition.
The exposure must have been difficult. You still have a dark right side, while the left side of the face starts to blow out. Was it lit from the left, it looks that way. Perhaps that changing the position could help bring a more even lighting if you want to. It is not a big deal.
Background No comment.
Camera Work (Technical) Can't judge. Because it is so dark I can't see if this is really sharp. It isn't so important here I think. The blurred background face is ok, the soft look goes well with purple rain.
Digital Processing (technical) You have done a lot of work to get it this way, interesting to read how you did it. I can't add anything else to it.
My opinion Interesting concept, good idea.
I'd like it more without the stripes in the face area.
I just realized, that a face in the background? (yes, it is!) Interesting shot, but I'm not overly fond of the coloration, even though necessary for the song connection. 6 Swash
This is awesome. It sure is purple rain and I want to know how you did it. It very clear and clean. Good cropping. Plain and simple yet intriquing. It's an 8 from me. PTL
