since its summer right now, all my rain ideas were staged... haha, i had a couple, and i shot them, this idea came out best though...
i set up a sprinkler at dusk and put a gerainium (sp?) in our neighbors bird feeder... lol, the only thing i really dislike about this shot is the huge rain drop i tried to clone down a bit... i thought that the drop took away from the flower too much, although my cloning might have done so as well...

Another wet flower shot. There is some action to it, and I think this setup was a very good idea. I'd prefer a dof to include the foreground water in focus.
I like the colors, especially the red against the dark stone. Nice dof too. The background could be more interesting, or maybe shot from a different angle.
very nice DOF, contrast of the red vs. the muted foreground, and the rain in the background looking like string coming down from the sky. one of the better submissions.
Great focus and exposure. The red really stands out against the other more neutral colors. Emotional shot -- kinda like being beat down by the circumstances around you, but still trying hard to be beautiful.
This is a great photo for all of those voters who are tired of pictures of pretty flowers in gardens! About time those stupid flowers got what was coming to em' hahahah great picture thanks for helping vent my floral frustration.
