texture of metal and rain

I love this so much. I'm a great fan of more abstract photography anyway, and texture really draws me in, so this has two of my most favorite elements in photography. You've captured the various hights of the ridges and lumps and bumps very well- there's contrast without losing information, except on the very very top of the photo. The gradient effect that it gives just makes the photo more interesting to me, though- I don't think it would be nearly as effective if it was just one flat light source. This is just such a lovely photo.
