I think the hand has to be BEHIND the guy, (It looks like his arm is broken ... great humor (be careful around the chin (its a bit washed out and the background is shining through (you should be able to just duplicate the young man's layer and that should fill in the space that got erased (about two or three times)
GOOD LUCK (Naked Cowboy.. hehehehe)
It doesn't look like rain, so much as a noise texture with a motion blur...Almost like a blue curtain.
Part of this is due to the background color (rain doesn't usually have such a blue environment), and the whitish shapes, in addition to the "too regular" noise.
Perhaps you could lightly erase parts of the "rain" at a reduced opacity with one of the "speckle" brush shapes to make the downpour look a bit more random.
Although the bevel and emboss (and the triangle) in the sky above the arches doesn't really make sense to me, I do like the design between the arches - it adds a touch of eeriness to the nicely desaturated temple and rain effect.
Howdie stranger!
