Eddie, I really liked your image when you first posted it and it still has the same impact on me.

Well done! I like the impressionistic feel from the sepia tones and grain. This would make a wonderful print.

 Bill is right, this is an absolutely superb image. If you have a few moments, please explain how you processed it to get the spectacular end result you obtained.

Arthur, Akira, Frank - thanks for the comments.

The rain was truly very heavy for some minutes; Silver Efex with some toning did the job.
