Very nice study of shapes and angles, and has an emotive side too - quietude. I feel like I'm there.

I really like this. I only wish the pole told me something more other than a stick in the ground... But, everything looks really great You did a fantastic job.

I really like the conversion on this. Very sharp. I'm going to try your steps on my next one. Nice interesting angles. Great Job.

I really like the textures and the tones and the lines. You have a talent for seeing interesting lines, that's for sure.

Great timing with this capture. I like the lines the image provides, and the rings of the water droplets offsetting it. This image seems lonely and sad, but it's so pretty at the same time.

I love how something so normal and routine can look so beautiful in a picture. Great job!

Ooh, nice crisp abstract. I like it. The few drops on the water in contrast to the angular curbs really make it.

i bet this would have a pretty cool looking histogram (if thats possible) the tonal range is awesome and those rain drops tie the whole image together. very nice

what a great simple image - I would never imaging that sprinkling in a parking lot could be so beautiful - those rings from the rain drops make this an absolute winner.
