I like the composition Cheryl,
The rain adds a dramatic element to your image. I would desaturate the white diagonal in the background. Its catching my eye...good show...:cool:

Looks like prisms on the raindrops. BG just a tad too busy for me. Good exposure.

[Cheryl Flory]

is it the rain drops or the foliage that makes the bg too busy?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

IMO the foliage going at an angle to your subject.
