Guys, trying out some new PS techniques and was wondering if something like this is considered over processed. Would appreciate feedback. Thanks

Well it's your photo so how do you feel about it?
The fact that you are asking indicates (to me) that you think it is.
For me there are too many distractions - the background overpowers the foreground which I assume is the main subject.
Your watermark is also distracting to me.

Re watermark - agreed
Re subject - yes, the Square Head building is the subject
Re how I feel about it?... the fact that I am asking, means I'm not fully convinced of the outcome and since I'm still experimenting with filters and editing techniques I am still adjusting to what and how to use it.

I like the picture. The rain creates an interesting effect, almost grainy/soft. I think it somewhat detracts from the overall picture. As for over processing, I don't think it's over the top. But I should qualify that I am pretty heavy with my processing. As I'm growing/learning I'm starting to feel that over processing is a quick wow factor that really just tries to cover up a well composed and exposed picture. But that's why we're here... to try and learn and grow. I would be happy to have snapped that pic.
