Bubble symphony: dancing in the rain on a car windshield

In January we got one atmospheric river after another in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is good news, because we need more rain! One evening when returning home I took this shot with a big fast vintage glass while waiting at a traffic light.

I processed a realistic and balanced HDR photos from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
