I use CS5 and know nothing of elements so you may have to adapt this for how elements operates
Use you eyedropper tool to select a black between the drops to be foreground colour
Add a new adjustment layer-selecting solid colour. This will add the foreground colour- is the black
using a layer mask -mask out the giraffes and stone and you will be left with the black solid layer where the rain is.
Because you have such a good contrast between the giraffe and the black , you will not need to be too careful in your layer mask.

not a huge or difficult task and good luck with it

Thanks for the advice. It is much appreciated.

I thought the answer might lie with layers but was hoping for another answer. I have found layers confusing and have not mastered them, but I've always known that I'd have to get on top of them one day ... and that day has now arrived!!

I will get stuck into the task in the next day or so, and hopefully will emerge a better man ... and with the giraffe photo sorted.

Once again, thanks ... and Ill let you know how I get on.

Cheers

David
