We have plenty of rain in Portland, and are quite familiar with the bordem is can bring. I don't have a windows in the house that are appropriate for a shot like this from inside. So I took a storm window out and set it on a table on the back patio, and left it out to get good and wet, along with the bike. I wiped the inside of the pane dry and took the shot from under an umbrella.

increased contrast slightly
brought saturation levels up on red green and blue

Excellent idea. A great attractive picture that fits very well to the challenge. It would be even better if you could remove the line in the middle. 9

This is kindof neat. I like the way you can barely see past the rain. It looks neat. The texture is awesome! And the colors are bright behind the winow so they really come out.

A nice, unique take on the challenge. I'd like to see just a bit more contrast, specifically, bringing in the black point *just a bit* to give darker dark tones.

nice effort, just not quite pulled off. the top-bottom long line in the center is distracting, and there appears to be some reflection on the glass...

Lovely job, expressing emotion without a kid in the photo-one of my favorites so far

i love the concept and use of color. there is something that is stopping me from falling in love with it. i'm sorry i can't articulate my feeling very well (i'm new to photography), but it may be that i want the bike to be a little bit more in focus (i have no idea how you would do that). or maybe there should have been more space around the bike to suggest all the places the bike could go if not for the rain.

Interesting photo, but it doesn't convey the theme, "Bored" I'm giving you 4 based entirely on picture.

I love this photo. I'm not sure it necessarily says "boredom," but the lighting is incredibly good, and the soft focus works nicely. LIke how it's cropped, too. Nice job.

Fresh approach to the schema of 'being bored' as I feel like its me that wants to go out on the bike but I cant due to the rain, making the viewer ( me ) feel this way assures me that you have captured this in a truly strong way. I'm just slightly distracted however to the line that runs through the middle of the shot. Great effort :0)

I like the colours and the idea. There are a few white streaks on the gass that stop me awarding higher.
