nice colors and lighting. thru all the raindrops on stuff in this challenge, this one really stands out.

actually, a nice variation of textures here, as it goes from the bricks, to the water, to the pavement. not really an abstract, but it sorta haas that feel to it.

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

like how well you can see the falling rain. i think the flowers are a bit out of focus tho. but by using the rule of thirds to create negative space, i think you have succesfully made an otherwise common subject (atleast in this challenge) interesting.

Vine

interesting. i think if I were doing something like this, i would have chosen a more 'solid' subject. with the grape vines you have here, there's just a lot of stuff making your main subject kind of cluttered. maybe if you just focused more on the smaller area with just the green leaves and the grapes.

interesting. i think having the water in focus more would have made it better tho.

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.
