This week's theme is both difficult and simple. The difficulty is to get a good shot that clearly shows the rain. The simple thing is that you simply have to vote for the picture that clearly shows the rain! :)

A tough one, color contrast is for larkspur, but the background bokey distracts. Best composition is Matthyaouw. But the sense of misery in the rain is between Hypatia and Turbo. I voted for the rainest.
 
Tough one (as always).
I'm going to have to go for Hypatia as I like the dark & moody feel it has.
 
Lots of GREAT photos, as usual. I had to go with JasonRox for fitting the theme the best. Everyone else looks sad in the rain, Jason's is the only one with happiness/singing in the rain.

and you feel no guilt voting against larkspur or matthyaouw?

Singing does not need to be happy. My boy Simon was actually doing a bit of Puccini there. I like those sunflowers, though.
 
The rainy sunflowers got me.

I think if we can photoshop that sad dog picture into the drenched sunflowers, we have a winner.

They are all so great, I can't decide yet.
 
You have 2 days left to vote in this contest. Will larkspur once again run away with a PF Photo contest with her strawberries, or can turbo catch her?
