The taking of this picture was an exercise in composition. I saw a whole bunch of interesting things, being out in the rain today. and did a bunch of more "normal" photographs, but then I kept trying to find some new ways of looking at stuff. I noticed the raindrops on the railing, and then moved in close. Then I started playing with the composition - it is a three line railing, but I decided I only wanted two of the three pipe railings, to simplify things. What fascinated me was the distant shore which was right on the edge of being visible. What I like about this choice is that in the first second when you see the image, you are not quite sure what you are looking at. So that made the exercise fun.
