While a fabulous shot, IMO its a bit of a stretch, in regards to the challenge. That said, it's one of the best B&Ws I've seen in a while - crisp, well contrased, and interesting. In another challenge, I would have voted it a 10. But as I can't see any rain in it, I can only give it a 6

Interesting choise to use bw on this. It gives it a very "primitive" feeling, and I suspect helps the viewer to focus on the water more than the foliage and stuff around it.

okay, more of a waterfall that rain, but the water has to come from somewhere, right?

The exposure time seems perfect for a nice silky look in that water.

Love the tones of this image, though I'm afraid the DPC literalist and going to chew you up for not actually being rain.

Nice composition, but too much contrast for me.

Beautiful image and I think the B/W works surprisingly well. Great focus & DOF. You may get hit by some voters who don't "see" any rain here (only drawback of the dark B/W finish). Very well composed - nice job.

I bet this would have been stunning in color.

DNMC.. :-(

This is a water fall, not rain. Granted, rain accumulates into streams, rivers, lakes, & oceans. But it's not rain.

On the edge of relevance for the topic. But I am glad you haven't 'long exposed' and made the waterfall all soft.
