    They look like decoys.

    The EXIF data didn't give an ISO setting. The only thing I can think of to increase your DOF is to increase your f-stop. You're already shooting at f/5.6 at 1/50 of a second. If you increase your ISO you may be able to both increase your shutter speed to shorten the raindrop trails and increase your DOF slightly.

    I agree with Dixie on increasing the ISO to get the shutter speed up so that the rain would become smaller.


    Even though, I really like the angle that you took and it's an image that you do not see every day. Good work just the same.

    That's not RAIN. NO cheating. Did you get your camera working again?

    Even though the DOF is not there, I like the shot anyway. Brave soul to be out in the heavy rain. Nice job Jeff.
