If this isn't finished i want to see it so...

From agage@mines.edu:
Nice effect, though it is very simple overall.

From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se:
Good concept.

From dormammu@erols.com:
Nice.  Although, you said this isn't a finished image, so I had to deduct 
slightly from your score.  I like the rain effect, tho.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
cool idea, but somehow the scene doesn't grab me.

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Original idea. 
The rain is very good.
Nice composition.
Pity it was not finished in time.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Interesting point-of-view.  The rain is VERY realistic.
Seems like there should be a halo around the light.

From djconnel@flash.net:
Nicely done!!!! With a bit more work, this would have been a winner...
as it is, it still ranks quite high in my voting -- the rain is very effective.

From cfusner@enter.net:
A deep and moving interpretation on the theme. The rain, which is an
excellent technical effect, gives the scene the somber, saddened mood
it's subject matter requires to be effective.

From econoltd@thezone.net:
The rain turned out very nicely...good placement of the camera.

I love the rain!  It had to take you forever to design and render this one.
Notable for originality, modelling, composition, lighting

From r@dial-up30.webbernet.net:
A good start.  The rain works well, but the lamp needs a visible bulb. 
Something, say a part of the person in the gutter or a bit of sidewalk and a
trash can or something similar in the foreground (bottom) would help.  This
