I'm not crazy about the title, but I think the picture is very nice. The blurry leaves in the top foreground are distracting to me, but the rest of the image is one of my favorites so far. I love the subtle, but rich colors. That pale green with the strong, rain-streaked gray look great!
The top leaves see a tad distracting, but you can definatly see the rain, and the effects off it. Great movement to this image. What's up with the title? Sideways rain drops?
I really love the feeling of this picture, it's just too bad that you have these out-of-focus leaves at the top. I still give it a decent score (above 50%) Good Luck
'7' (just pretend) - I like this capture of the rain (or what looks like rain) for the Challenge. Criticism; for me, there is too much 'fore/top' foliage. I would like to see almost a thin 'veiling' of it or none. A zoom 'through the branches' out to the rain, may have made this a better shot in my opinion. I like the colors and the water capture but just think it has more potential than you have captured - in my opinion.
The foreground "border" above takes up too much space for my liking (almost a full 1/3 of the top), I would've scored it higher if it wasn't so distracting.
