What's wrong with this picture

in The Commons
I tried this several times with the same result. I even tried to render in 3dL and changed environments. Every time it looks like someone used white out on it. I know the produck works because there are so many examples in the gallery. So what am I doing wrong?

Dumb me. That would make things easier on the rest of you.
I'll have to remember that if I want t make an old damaded photo.
Just need a way to add a crease and damag te edges.
Too much light from the Camera Maybe? or a Spot light is washing out some of the water?
That may be it. I turned of the environment map and it seems to help. I was using an HDRI. how do I get it to remove all the lights and settings?
Yeah, I think @Radkres might be right. Make sure your Headlamp is turned OFF on your Camera. It looks like there is a light that's too bright that is causing those hotspots.
To much mayo on your sandwich, LOL
Can't be. I use mustard.
A rain grid too close to your camera perhaps?
I guess it's the combination of headlamp on the camera on and some of those drops are really close to the camera, so switching headlamp off in the camera settings and move the rain prop (I believe that's an intersections of planes? in a way that the first plane in front of the cam is as far away as you can get without moving out of the rain field. it might help to switch to smooth shaded in the viewport to see the planes better
dThe white looks like intense refleactions on the individual droplet planes. Turn the camera angle slightly so its not directly perpendicular to the planes, and make sure headlamp for you camera is turned OFF
It was deffinately the headlamp, and no, this does not appear to be a plane. if you dolly the view you seem to ass through the drops and just as many are still there, just like actually walking.
