 Saturday ( September 23rd ) was a grey and rainy day around here. Perfect for the Rain Challenge. I took over 200 pictures on that day. Surprisingly, over 50 were "keepers". At the same time I shot for the Abstract Macro II and a picture also ended up as my entry for Free Study XIII (All 3 pictures are completely different)

For this one I wanted a September feel to it.

Quite well composed - although the out of focus echo of the tall stands on the right side is probably unfortunate - it draws the eye too far out of frame for good effect, I think.

A B&W twist on a common theme and the choice of a longer exposure adds some uniqueness to this shot
