I esepcially love the first one. The raindrops on the glass give it a nice feel.

The raindrops give a fantastic texture to the first shot. Great stuff!

Two interesting shots. I like the way you've included the lone tree in the first shot. The waves in the bridge are very interesting.

Angela, I love that bridge too, you should see the way it rocks when large trucks go over it.
