fixing a photo

How would you fix this photo?

This is part of my on going series where I stumble across a photo I've taken but haven't yet processed and I want your input. I shot this a few months ago on a bridge in Heidelberg, Germany. It was pouring down rain. I was using my Sony NEX-7. I don't think I've ever processed a rain photo before. 

How would you process or fix this photo?

Fixing a Photo

Last week I published a birthday photo of my wife. Initially I ran it through Lightroom in an attempt to fix the photo. I didn't do a great job and I asked all of you to explain what you would have done to fix it. You had some wonderful suggestions. So I went back to the photo in Lightroom and attempted to fix it.

've put together a screencast that takes us through that process. And then I've posted both versions of the photos below.
