The premise is really good, and the woman is gorgeous, but there's something offsetting about the photo. The "rain" looks like it's droplets sprayed on a sheet of plexiglass and positioned in front of the woman. The focus is on the droplets and not the woman, which draws the eye away. Additionally, there looks like there's some sort of haze or reflection in front of her on the top half of the photo.
All in all, good effort, but It could be better.

I want to add that I've always loved your work - I think you're an exceptional photographer, but this one just looked a bit forced.
Mission accomplished my friend. Such a beautiful feel to this shot. Should of scored MUCH higher IMO, but a great finish non the less. You have such beautiful models to work with....lucky....
Her left eyeball (HER left) is obscured by a water droplet. It makes an otherwise tranquil image ring of cyborgs and darker things. Otherwise, it looks very good. Her elbow might want more room in the frame, but I'd have to see to know. In all, I'm getting an effect from the softness, and that was the idea, so I'll take it! :)
I would have liked to have seen this with out the drops. While it is a very beautiful picture, I felt the rain drops on the photo took away from the softness. Other than the rain drops, I just love the picture.
Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background good,
Technical: Focus, Exposure: good,
Appeal: good focal point, doesn't really appeal to me but expertly done
