Thanks all for the votes and comments. Cheated on the rain, used a hosepipe to simulate the drops. Shutter speed of 1/60 to great the streaks..

Like the rain on the back layer. The pink flowers are in focus and they look like paper.

Nice lighting. Looks almost like a dancer. Seemed a little flat. I don't really know. I like the image but something bothers me, but I can't figure out what. Once I see the other comments, maybe I'll better be able to figure out what is tugging at me. Gave it a 7.

nice.
would have liked more of it in focus (the things closer to the lens) like those green buds in the center, i find my eye being drawn to them. but the shallow DOF (that i believe caused the blurred areas) has really worked in your favor in other ways, such as really blurring the background, making the flowers your center focus.

Nice, very nice, background color particularly suits the bright pinks, altogether a very good composition.

I really like this shot. Very nice trails made by the rain, and lovely colors in the flowers. 7

I wish the big flower on the right were in the spot that the green blob is in in the middle.

Another wet flower shot. Very nice with the streaking rain in the background, though I'd expect to see it bouncing of the flower as well.

Such a bright, beautiful image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That is the best flower shot so far in my opinion. That would have score high also in Long Exposure challenge. The falling rain effect is really beautifull. 9

Very striking, good choice of shutter speed. Not convinced by OOF buds in foreground and colour of background.

The flower looks good, but its the rain in the background that makes the photo look better. Good Job.

Beautiful lighting. The rain makes for a lovely background.
