can be though when the weather doesn't wanna cooperate, but this is pretty much the opposite of the challenge description and is only vaguely connected to it via title. the one little puff of cloud is quite cute tho :-)
"Be careful with your equipment this week as you search out your best photo of rain." Sorry, but I don't see any rain here. It's a good shot and I love the colors & focus, but...
I'm pretty certin the negative approach isn't going to wash with the voters, but it is of course tricky to be original and different and if you're somehwere without rain ...
I'm not wholly sure about your composition here - the framing seems somewhat arbitrary, with the shapes of those dried leaves not working together for you. The angles and shapes I think need to be more coherent in their overall effect - this seems too random. Great blue, though.
While I applaud you for throwing this shot into the mix, I'm sticking to giving this fine, non-rainy shot, a 4. :-(
The colour and sharpness is wonderful, and beautiful to look at. Great catch to get that one piece of cornstalk(?) pointing right at your one, lonely puff of could. Title and story is fantastic, too, now I have guilt, but this is really like the anti-rain photo, with the rain story. Sorry for my opinion, great shot. [4]
You may get marked down by some voters for lack of visible rain, but I really prefer seeing this to most sprinkler shots I also like where you placed that one cloud. I hope you do better than I expect.
Great photo, saturation of color is amazing. Didn't feel it depicted the challenge really well. I wasn't going to submit anything myself because we are also experiencing a drought, but thankfully on the day the challenge was due we had major thunderstorms.
I really like this... but I bet you're gonna get slammed with "no rain" no gain comments...I love that little teeny cloud up in the right hand corner...such a lonely little guy...nice image.
