 This was the best rain storm I could create in my backyard, and it's probably painfully obvious that it's not really raining. You can easily see in the shadows that it's sunny out. This is rather ironic since it has rained here practically every day this month!

Anyway... I attached a sprinkler to an awning in my back yard, and let it rain on my daughter for this.

Good composition and color. I love how you were able to capture the rain off of the umbrella.

All that water on such a bright day - did you use the garden hose?!?

The image is nice enough but I really want to see more of the girls face, maybe if you had her turn toward you a bit more

Sweet :o) Would have loved to see more of her face though, but I like the colors and how visible the "rain" is - good luck :o)

Too much water rolling down the umbrella. I don't believe this is real rain.
