 How I did this:
- Wait for it to rain
- Convince my wife to go outside into our back garden and stand in it while getting soaked
- Tell her jokes to make her laugh
- Take the picture
- Edit colour balance
- Edit saturation and hue
- Edit levels
- Edit brightness / contrast
- Crop
- Unsharp / noise reduction
- Take my wife out to dinner for her limitless understanding

And that's it!

Thanks all who voted. For those who mistook this for a Librodo. Wasn't intended but there's no greater compliment.

The image is clearly the style of one we know. Lovely, beautiful model. You must have a great sense of humour because all your models seem to be happy.

Very nice lighting and pose. If anything I would say it needs a little more rain to hit me harder visually, but a good shot nonetheless!

A wonderful interpretation that encompasses both the saying and a photograph that stands on its own. I like the light, composition and DOF. 9

Nice image, could have worked better with a more shallower DOF.

if she would have cast her eyes up a little it might have emphasized that it was raining. 8
