Suggestion: Actually the sky looks lumpy instead of it looking like rain on the window. I think you need to get the drops sharper to get the effect of drops on glass. To work, you may have to compromise bldg sharpness a tad. What you want for blur is motion blur in the trees and less DOF blur. Add a tall tree like in the attached photo but give the top part some serious radial blur to make it bend in the wind.And something that is really key. As light exits the building window it will illuminate the rain drops so areas around the lighted windows should have a slightly fog like orange glow.
Everything will be wet so all surfaces of the building should have high shine and refractive index to catch specular highlights.
Slight haloing around lights and specular reflections -

A couple of good points Roger,particularly about the rain directly outside the windows being illuminated.But I think the water on glass image you uploaded is too static,it looks more like condensation than rain,I want to add movement,even at the risk of sacrificing detail.I am looking at a few other revisions and hope to reupload soon.
Actually you might get rid of the window altogether and use long rain streaks at 45 degree angle with a side light off camera illuminating them. IE get the viewer out of the comfort of the indoors and put the viewpoint out in the cold driving rain?

I will look in the morning it is past 2 feakin AM and looking at all these cold rain photos makes my arthritis act up. Zzzzzzz!

Attached is a revised image with the rain on glass removed and some small additions,particularly to the lighting.Also attached is the original raw render before post processing.

That looks really good David. Congrats.
As hard as the wind is blowing those potted plants sure are standing up straight however.
-
I think you have caught the mood with the last images David, nice work.

If it is worth doing it is worth over doing.

Maybe a broken patio umbrella, and a bird being blown sideways. Want some lightening?
-
A tree laying on top of a Lamborghini on the driveway would be spot on.
Really nice work as usual.

Sweet.

Very nice, maybe a little too much interior light and bloom, but feels like a reprieve from the weather non the less.
-
Last image is superb, really nice mood.

Yes I agree Pete,the lighting is a bit too strong,especially with the landscape being very bright,brighter than it actually should be on a moonlit night.I have attached a quick revision with the main landscape toned down,and this works better but I will revise the internal lights later and re-upload.
-
the upper-right branches are too bright, they should be almost black, as they are against the light.
-
excellent mood for the last. but i like the storm more.
