Cool shot, is this your entry Ed? If not, I am confusing you with e301, one of my favorites here at the site so you should take this as a compliment. 8 from me.
Nicely done. I like the B&W, and the contrast works well. Is that really rain? I say this because on the right, it looks like it could be a waterfall. My first thought was Niagra Falls, and the spray hitting the window.
The toning and subject in this one sets a terrific, rainy-type mood. I think that the large pain is a bit disctracting, and shifting your position to the left a bit would have improve the composition. Perhaps cropping the single pane where the 4 psople are standing.
The black and white choice p[robably made this photo what is is. It feels gloomy, dark, cabin-feverish...just like the day is itself. Very nice job and selection.
I like the way that the frame adds to the scene outside. Whether it reflects the reality or not, the window suggests a separation of the person on the right from the group on the left, which is rather interesting. Black and white is a good choice too.
