Congratulations! I’m drawn to this image as the main narrative is captured with multiple layers to it. I'm also interested in your use of using a Macro lens to capture this detail, the quality in each drop can be seen by this decision of using this lens. Well done and continue this style of photography.

Christmas Lights - This is an image full of nostalgia, and you have captured a winter night well. The main success here is your separation of detail and focal points. This is evident in your sharp highlights within the rain drops. Well done!

Thank you for entering this contest! This is an excellent entry, a great capture in a social documentary context. I suggest shooting again in a similar lighting situation, however with a higher aperture. This will create depth with the detail you have here. Well done!

I like the tones used here, and thank you for mentioning the production details behind this landscape. I really like the details of the rain droplets in motion and your frame choice of dividing the shot with the strong green reeds.

This is a striking and bold landscape full of colour and pattern. The rain fall adds a shine and highlight element across the tile and brick work texture. Your subject creates another layer to this landscape, adding movement within the graphics. Great work!

I love the cinematic value this landscape shows, heavy clouds featured with the lights seeping through to the fields below. I’d suggest editing the contrast of the foreground slightly brighter and the seascape darker to balance this all out. Well done!

This is a sweet portrait and interesting tonals. You've captured a moment which feels special, and the contrast in depth of field adds an extra detail. I'd suggest editing out the car in the corner to bring more attention to the subject.

Thank you for submitting this photo to this contest, great capture and colour tones with the mirror. If you're interested to pursuing still life like this in a future photoshoot, position your prop within the full frame and try a higher shutter speed setting. Good job!

I commend your high production use for the result of this image. To amplify the contest's rain theme, you have edited with a keen look on sharpness and contrast. Well done, it’s very detailed, and the lush greens are a great factor.

The easiest weather to ignore as a photographer, but many surprises and opportunities await. Long shutter speeds can create new ways of depicting rain, and rain on different surfaces creates patterns and interactions. Rain on glass acts as a natural filter that obscures and shapes the scene beyond. And rain creates scenes amongst those being drenched - people running for shelter, umbrellas unfurled and hidden under, and dogs shaking off their wet coats.

I really love how delicate this photo is and the sense of calm it brings to the eye. This is a tremendous entry under the theme of rain, and the main emphasis of the individual shapes of singular rain drops. Gentle and effective. Great job!

I want to highly credit this portrait for its framing efforts, the crop here with the rain, really suits this direction of lighting. The rain detail is evident, unveiling little detail and keeping a sense of shape of the rainfall. Great tonals’ too!
