Shot through my front windows through 130+ year old glass. Added some contrast, hightened blue of neighbors house, removed a powerline, and sharpened a little.

This was snow, our spring rain. Where I live in Colorado, we get more snow on Easter than Christmas (This was the day before Easter). Thanks for the nice comments. Van
The rain is great and makes the scene very impressionistic. I am not fond of the break for the vertical window pane wood; perhaps there was no way around it. I would have loved to see it framed by the wood and the beautiful scene within.
The colours are amazing and the rain adds tremendous contrast and texture to the image. Unfortunately the window frame seems to take away from the image. Maybe a different angle would have worked better. 6
At first I thought it was snow, but after seeing the title I'm guessing it's actually rain. Well there goes 'wow snow and flower petals in the same shot' theory. The colors are vibrant, the rain/show makes it more different than the standard view of next door through a window look. The placement of the frame is good, but the lines are not very straight. Not a bad shot.
Like the colors and I can it amuses my eye to see how that and the rain you caught almost make it look like a violent wind blown storm rather than a calm spring shower. The light dictates otherwise. Nice job.
Some interesting textures and colours here. I'd have been tempted to make a tighter crop so you see the frame but not the lower right pane. Not enough sharpness here for my taste.
I love the outside background. The colors and glass pane distortions effect on the house is really great, but I find that your inclusion of the silhouetted window frame detracts and adds little to the enjoyment of this otherwise pleasureable image. Maybe increasing cam distance to the window and showing more detail in the frame would have had a better effect for me.
I like the almost painterly quality of this, helped by the distortion form the glass. I find the two closer branches (left of the window and about a third of the way along the bottom) a little distracting. Otherwise a nice shot. (8)
Has a painting feel to it. Very nice colours too. It is evident that it was taken through a window but I think a different composition could make the image stronger. As it is the window frame is distracting.
