Taken outside my house just after a light shower. My friend (in the picture) gave me the idea. I thought it would look kinda cool. Adjusted contrast, brightness. A little dodging and burning to enhance "soft focus" effect. Let's see who likes it!

The shirt is hot on this one. I would have liked to see rain falling to fit the title.

probably going to give this a 4. it's interestingly diverse, but generally I just can't connect with it. i would note that other than the title, there is no indication that it is a rainy day (in fact, it looks positively pleasant out). i'm probably wrong, but it looks you might have used something like a diffused filter which obviuosly gave you the softness, but also resulted in the halo effect round the guy. coupled with his arms-out posture it suggests that your model might have a bit of a jesus complex. a jesus that smokes, evidently. also those railings; a major eye-sore and distraction.

A bit too much halo around the body; also, the railing is somewhat distracting, but I really like the angle that you chose for your model. Nice work!

This image does have a soft quality to it but I find what appears to be smoke near the persons face a little distracting and would like to have seen all of the right hand in the frame (MHO)
