If you're going to be "cheating", go ahead and bring your own "rain" - take
along a spray bottle of water/glycerin mix and create your own raindrops.

Thanks for your comments, Bruce.  My reaction was similar.  Through my
view finder, I saw only the patterns of the frond's "leaves," the
texture of the main subject, and the water droplets.  The background
did not register at the time,
  and it came as a surprise when it jumped out at me on my computer screen.

The background is what it is.  I took a few other shots of that fern,
and some had much better backgrounds, but the frond did not look the
way that I wanted.  Perhaps I will go back there after the next rain,
and try again.  I may even resort to cheating, and bring my own
background to place under the frond.  <G>

This is an interesting one, Dan. While the graphic elements please me,
I find the busy background too jarring. Competes with the foreground.
I think the colour scheme is disharmonious -- that may be what's
bugging me.

PS: "raindrops on roses & whiskers on kittens" works out just fine, but
raindrops on kittens just seems to piss 'em off.
