This shot was taken behind my house.
It was raining but not that hard so I tried to add upp the atmosphere with the gardenhose.
I took a few shot´s of her in different poses and she was starting to get cold.
There were other shot´s in this serie that were better regarding seeing the drops falling from the air but this one had the best expression on her face.
I used unsharpmask/and then a few duplicated layers with multiply effect on to darken the picture.

Good DOF and focus. Exposure levels seem to be right on. I really like the "stormy feeling" that the black-on-black creates, but the expression on the models face just does not convey the same feeling.
The composition would have been perfect had the fingers not been cropped off. Still, a really nice shot!
You got robbed. I found this shot much better than in the hundreds place. The whole mood works and I like the smeared makeup with the dark clothes and background. All well. Better luck next time!
Very creative interpretation of personifying an image of rain. The grayish cast to her face makes her appear very stormy. I would say that especially as a work of fine art, you did a wonderful job. The one thing I didn't like was her smile. I would have probably just taken the shot without a smile. Takes away from the idea of stormy.
Gives the impresion of been caught in the rain
I love the care free expression on the models face
Not sure I like the background so much but more good things than bad here
My first impression of this shot was that I didn't like it. Then I looked at it again and studied it. I've now come back to it 4 times. Each time I bump it up another notch. Once again, I find myself doing the same. Very emotive and "colorful" shot. I love the blacks and textures. 8
love the low-key darkness of this image. her positioning, however, is a bit akward. it might be her hand, or facial expression...i don't really know. i think it would have appealed more to me if you cropped out her hand entirely.
but all in all, a very cool image. good luck :-)
Nice imagery, although the black on black effect of the clothes & background gives it a heavy or dark feel. It would also help to actually see rain instead of just wet.
