So what was the subject? The rain or the water Lilly?
With rain as the subject alone it's not much of an image IMO.

The cropped version
The cropped version has a stronger composition and pleases the eye, but it
loses the feeling of "in the rain" that the first has.

Love the portion of this scene including the lily. That portion alone,
recomposed, may be the best compositional choice.

Thanks, Bob and Don.
Don, I see the spot also. It was really there, in the water. I
thought about cloning it out, but then I looked at all the
imperfections in the lily pads, and decided once I go down that road,
I might never stop.

Very nice Dan. I do find water lilies hard to photograph and usually in
the wrong light. There is one little white spec in the water on the
right I kept trying to wipe off my monitor.

The intense colors of that blossom make the image marvelous.
I wouldn't worry about the centering...hard to avoid that with water lillies.

Hi Dan: I think the water lily is hard to photograph--it's hard to get a good
composition on them from the side of a pond. The choice of flower here is
good, but the pads are a bit distracting.

Very nice exposure, Dan. Not that centering of a principle element should
always be avoided, but, for me, this dominant lily is distractingly close.

The composition doesn't grab me. The flowers are too centered, maybe
cropping a bit off of one edge, or if you want it centered a somewhat
tighter crop. The contrast seems to be a bit too high for the subject
