Very cool, and truly captivating eyes. The halo of water is brilliant, and gives an ethereal quality the piece that I really like.

The subtle indication of the rain streaming down in the back- and foregrounds comes off very well.

The plastered-down wet hair and the streamers of rain down the side of her face are expertly done too.

Your first line in the artist's comments section remind me of a conversation I once had with *Adreanna . She said, like you, "sometimes its good to put down the umbrella." We both ended up drenched, but it was fun... Especially the looks people gave us as I carried a 3ft golf umbrella furled up despite lashing rain...

Good luck with *Adreanna 's contest. I entered it as well [link] and decided to see what the other entries looked like. I'm impressed!

You're welcome. I always like to leave detailed commentary. It seems so much better than a brief "wow!" comment.

Cool. I really like her eyes!
The halo of raindrops is a really striking effect and I really like the way you've done the streams of water running down her face.

Thank you for entering my competition; I'll and this to the list of entries right away!
