Default BMW in the rain

I was waiting outside in the parking lot for my wife to pick me up, and yes, in the rain. But I didn't care, I love nature like that. Anyways, I had looked over at a coworkers BMW motorcycle that I always thought was way cool, and felt inspired by the scene of rain, asphalt, and sheer German engineering, to pull out my Nikon D80, that I happen to carry with me at all times, and shot this photograph. I must admit, I did do some minor tweaks in PHS CS3, but don't tell anyone I told you so,OK.


Nikon D80/ AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G/ Sigma DG 28-70mm
1:2.8-4/ Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor/ Nikon 18-105mm DX VR
Nikon SB600 Flash

Love the shot, looks awesome. PP is superb.

Would be good to see the Beemer badge though?

I like the monochromatic look and the varying textures
