 On August 11 there was a big cloudburst in Bennebroek (The Netherlands) and I was right in the middle of it. Car wipers couldn't cope anymore, so I put my car aside and took this shot through my car window. Road was completely flooded and it was rather scary as thunder and lightening came with it.

Post processing: cropping, sharpening.

Pretty good shot - the wet glass works well, but IMHO a more interesting backdrop would have increased the image's appeal.

Come on, this is a snapshot, the point of photography is to spend a little time and consideration on your composition.

It definitely says "rain" to me, but I feel that there is a lack of a focal point to the shot and the colors are a bit flat.

Not much of interest for me in this shot, I'm afraid.
