I actually thought I wasn't going to get anything for this challenge, but while driving I saw this scene and swerved off to the side of the road, almost killing millions, pulled out my camera and snapped away. I can only hope my dangerous actions will benefit me in the end with a high score. tehee
After Challenge:
Holy poop! I cannot believe I won a ribbon!! I think I fainted for a second after hearing it. I was actually at Fish Camp when I found out. We were at the Silver Taps ceremony when I got a message telling me what I got, and since everyone is supposed to be completely silent I couldn't check my phone until we got back to our Camproom. It killed me to wait! Lol
Thank you all so much for your comments and votes! This site is amazing and addicting and I love it!!

First, congratulations on your ribbon. I find curtains of rain quite interesting.
I'm sure the gloominess of the image is probably what you were going for however I am feeling the image is slightly under exposed as I think the fence should be white rather than a shade of grey (I'm just guessing though). Selecting a point on the fence as the white point when applying curves would be a way of getting the fence to show more as white. Just a thought.
Wonderful catch of a curtain of rain, congrats to you! I think that section of white fence, combined with the rain make this shot outstanding. The fence and the extremely flat, green horizon of the field give some order which contrasts the natural chaos of the rain curtain. This is a marvelous shot.
edit - picking this as a top ten finisheer, good luck!
I can see this one winning a ribbon. The dark sky and bright fence and grass contrast very well, the shower in the distance almost looks like it's actually moving. Wow.
Wow, this is rad! The foreground lighting almost seems too bright for the scene. Quite dramatic though. I'm also almost tempted to guess theat the "rain" are smudges put on the camera lense. But sure does look like rain (and I believe that it is), so great capture!
The foreground is blurry but overall, it definitely makes a strong statement. I wonder if you dodged the fence even more and make it a bit whiter. That would be great too.
The white fence makes the shot. Lovely coloration - deep and brooding like the storm. Nicely done. I'm reviewing all the thumbnails again and this is a stand out with the the great contrast.. I like that you didn't go black and white, although it is almost devoid of color. I'm upping my vote to 9
Very nice. The white fence creates a startling bit of foreground interest & intrigue, without distracting the attention from the rainstorm. Well composed and executed. 7
Wonderful sight when you see those heavy rains in the distance. Nice capture.
The fence is a bit bright in relation to the background, I am unsure how I feel about that.
I think that this would be better if it was cropped to the edges of the white fence. Otherwise it is a wonderful picture with great colour and sense of feeling contrasts.
