Spring as arrived and also the rain.I should be happy because rain is all we need here in Portugal at the moment...but I´m not.The truth is I hate rain,hate to get wet and my mood really gets "cloudy" in days like this.But today I'm also very upset because I'm not feeling so well,I'm not sick, but my stomach played a trick on me this morning...so I guess the weather and I are much alike today.
This a bit of my bedroom window,outside is the balcony.
Hope all of you feel well today, even if it´s raining outside.
Tech talk:I just did some adjustments like increasing contrast and aplied a cooling filter to give the photo a more sad and cold mood.

nice texture

This is a simple yet pleasing photo. The clarity and colors really help. I do not feel sad when I look at it. More like calmness. I like that there are some "blocks" of light in the background that form another design separate from the diagonal rain pattern. Nice photo. Hope you feel better! JP

touchful,beautiful....
sometimes i like to look at window while raining...
i like to listen the sound, feel the rain...
clear, meaningful photo,
thank you Raquel...
bravo..

This is an amazing shot. It even has recorded the angle of drops and their splatter thereafter. The tone and texture well convey the gloom of overcast sky... making it a pefect mood picture.

Malgré le fait que vous n'aimez pas la pluie....à quelque part vous devez l'adorer, pour en faire une si belle photo, en son éloge.....
Superbement claire et précis.
Bravo J'adore....
Merci
Claude

Superb! I love it simple and so moody... Very graphic but so full of emotion a great work of composition and color ajustment! Take care if yourself! Hope you feel better soon.

I am sorry you're not feeling well, but grateful Portugal is finally getting the so needed rain. Great mood in this picture.

Very good pictyre! The shapes of the water on the window are beautiful. Very good idea to take a picture of it, well done! :-D

Original point of view to make a photo. It’s in balance with your feelings that are the best way to make the best pictures. Well done.

We've had marvelous weather today, Raquel ;o). Each in turn is a good thing, I guess... I love the way you captured the rain though, even if you didn't feel that great. Must have had a great deal of wind too, to get these streams ? TFS.

Background light adds a lot to this photo. Good observation, well realised. I like to see different shapes formed by water. Good work!

Piotr

wow... this is such a beautiful work... the textures and everything... just wow!...

thank you for give us a part of you... this is really, really pretty

Excellent capture you've got here. The little touch of pp is well done; gives a nice mood. Great job!

Powerfull sharpness on this one! Very good! And it have good texture! Great Shot!

Hi Raquel...Blue tones in the photo are impressive...I like the shapes on the windows...Excellent details from the daily-life...

Can

Beautiful shot, Raquel !
A sort if "saudade" is behind this rainy moody shot, this wet glasswindow.
Well done.

Il pleut souvent en Belgique, mais je reste toujours émerveillé par le résultat de l'eau qui s'écoule sur la matière ... et votre photo en est un très bel exemple ... braveau!

It was night, it was cold, it was raining...
Yes, I know that feeling and your picture conveys it very well. I like this cool hue and fuzzy light. I've done a workshop trying to increase the visual impact of your shot, hope you'd like it.

Excellent! This is really nice, I like the way you focused the water on the glass. The cold blue and light white blurred background gives some interesting mood to the photo, when you are so near from a window you normally don’t focus on the raindrops but what’s beyond the window so the inversed thing worked great on this photo.
Thanks for letting me use this photo to make a wall paper for themexp =D

Who would have thought that a simple thing like this can make a good photo? It take a good eyes to see it. Very well captured, I like the colour tone. The texture and the clarity are great. Very well done. Good job! TFS

The effect that you've achieved with the photo is exactly what you were after Raquel. It's crisp and clear, as well as providing the appropriate mood.

Excellent moody shot. I like how the eye gets stuck to the first plane with the focused droplets, making the balcony really a background to the photo, which we cannot clearly gaze.

bonjour raquel I discovering your galery, plaity of very good shot Bravo bravo bravo.
