So this is my daughter. I told her that her friends could come over on the Sunday after thanksgiving, but they had to do a photo shoot. But I decided to torture my daughter more than the others. It wasn't raining, her friend is spraying the hose. At this point, you should all feel sorry for her. It was a nice day, but really not incredibly warm, and when a friend runs the hose, you get wet!!

Wow! That's a lot of well photographed "rain". Great picture Wendy. Without that vibrant, super optimistic umbrella it would have looked gloomy... so, good thinking. Hope the model got some hot chocolate afterwards. Love the dots.

just a trifle wider DOF, get the gal in focus and it would have been an amazing shot! 6 (I think I would have 7'd it, but that softness on the person is just enough for me to take it away from snapshot and to a very well done piece of art)

Nice idea and perfect for the challenge. I think it would be more appealing if you smoothed out the tones on the knees.

Love the tight crop, bright pinks, and dull background. I feel she kind of fades into the background a bit too much though, with the gray shirt. 9

Nice job at capturing a gloomy mood, yet with color. The rain really makes this shot.

I'm pretty sure it didn't rain anywhere in the World on Monday. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for Validation on this one. Just kidding! It rarely rains where I live but were supposed to get some next week!
