The old John Setlzer trick. Spray piece of glass with Pam (non stick spray for cooking). The background is my blind in my bedroom. Crop out approx. 75%, unsharp mask, and colorize in PSP. I know, the lines are crooked.

Beautiful purple but I'm trying to figure out the round thing in the middle. Technically I don't see the rain, just the steam on the window from it. Nice focus and crop. Border doesn't add a thing for me, and being black on the outside it detracts against the dark purple. I do like the rolls in the purple. Just can't figure out the round thing, unless it is just decoration on the shade or curtain. It's still a nice photo. PTL
Very nice effect. I wanted to try purple rain, but couldn't get the look I wanted. I like this very much. The angle and framing/cropping are nice. Focus is great. The color is good, and lighting appears to be perfect for the shot. Excelent job. good luck in the challenge.
