My first real attemt at a rain edit, I would be pleased With any feedback: good or bad.

For a first try it's alright, but some things are off:
- The reflections from the car are a bit wrong in ther perspective and I'd also blur them a bit more.

- If the car reflects on the ground, the sorroundings in the background should too.

- Too many raindrops in a too small area and they're also too dark.

- With so much rain, you would see water on the car and the ground, including sprinkles.

- The drops on the lense are a nice touch, but too clear and you can see right through them. Drops like these usually reflect the whole environment (mirrored, because they work like extra lenses):

Keep trying, I'm sure you'll have some great results soon!

GT5-86 by Petri Hakala, on Flickr

This is one of my oldest photos that I just re-edited. I'm learning piece by piece and now I focused on the road, as well as reflection of the car.
