Not at all what I wanted to submit but since it didn´t rain a whole lot this week I was forced to improvise, originally I was going to do a shot of my wife dancing in the rain and make a photo that could be on the cover of a movie titled "dancing in the rain" or something to that effect. This is just a waterdrop on it´s way to my citchen sink in front of a blue cloth.
Lit with a MR-14ex and a 580ex to the left of the frame. Had dust spots all over the image so I used the healing brush extensively to clean up the image. Also took out several reflections from the MR-14ex flash in the water that I didn´t like. Finally used curves to increase the contrast and sharpened.
I really expected to be hammered for being off topic but I was getting "update button withdrawal" so I decided to post it anyway and I am glad I listened to my instinct, thanx for all the comments.

Kom mér nokkuð á óvart hversu háa einkunn myndin þín fékk, ekki það að hún sé slæm heldur að ég hefði haldið að hún væri "off topic".
Annars bara góð frammistaða hjá þér.
such a nice water drop shot, the blue is perfect, and the shape is one in a million. It's nice, but it really isn't "rain" to me. It's a controlled water drop. Still, it's done perfectly, and I can score you on that!
Not very rainy, but what the heck, it's a great shot. It looks like a spindle off a lathe. I like the watery-blue colours and sparkle. You're obviously a fancy-pants photographer ;-)
This is very cool and a great capture if it is water. I say that because it almost looks staged. Forgive me if I'm wrong as it is an excellent shot regardless. Goodluck!
'8' (only pretend and fyi) - Wow - but is this rain? Challengewise if I were voting, I would 'pass' it as rain even just for the 'illusion' or 'emulation' (IF not rain) - it is almost like a macro of a 'heavy' rain 'drop'. I have never seen a water droplet (or whatever the correct term is) shot like this. The coloring, and indeed effect within the 'drop' (including the 'stem') is incredible. The 'sparkle' on the edge too... wow, but my cynicism just will not let me believe this is an actual raindrop captured naturally outdoors....if you have, I will be speechless. Great shot, but Challengewise, well, will wait and see what it is when the Challenge is over. Amazing shot at any rate, very nice. Criticism; wish it were at least 640 in height, and possibly in width. Perhaps that top right 'parted' droplet out of frame, maybe might have made this even better, not sure.
