It is great subject material, Dan. The lighting is so nicely balanced throughout the image. I think the wires and poles are a major distraction, but cropping most of it out reduces the overall initial impact. It's exceptional.
I like this rain shot in B/W, it's very sharp. Ive always wanted to do a rain image but didnt want to get wet. OMG! is that $3.16 across the street? -Christie
Perfect scene for B&W . This is a great entry for the challenge . Nicely done !
