I used a whole lot of blur -- since there was a whole lot of distraction in the background.... and that is really the only way I know how to fix it... still learning.

I love the expressions here - the mood (especially on the little girl) is wonderful. For me, though, the boy should not be blurred - it's a major distraction (for me). I like the colors and the reflection on the coffee pot. There's one other, but more trivial input: The extra line of water confuses me ... might be an improvement if the water were just coming out of the spout and nowhere else. Again, I really like the colors and also the background.
You'll probably get hurt because the shot doesn't actually show rain, but that point aside, I think the processing (glows) don't work very well here. Good expression and nice color tones, but the processing is a distraction.
This was such a wonderful photo. Great capture of the moment. Loved the soft focus created by the motion. The coffee pot was just a little too blown out. Maybe a little more burning in or colorizing to take some of the shine off would have made it a 10 for me. I gave it a 9, instead.
cute use of kids, but i think you might have gone a bit overboard with the blurring of the background, and not having any actual rain in your pic will also hurt you score IMO. sorry ~3~ but practice makes perfect!! so keep at it and good luck :-))
Oh my goodness...big brothers can be so rotten! : ) I think I may have liked this a bit more without the odd "glow" effect...it really takes away from the "candid-ness" of the image IMO...it just seems so overdone.
A "cute" picture, but I can't see any rain.
I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be saying that to you.
Also the post processing seems to be very harshly done.
