I have lived in the city all my life and have always been amazed by the calm and beauty of puddled city streets after a cleansing rain.  The moon dancing happily upon each puddle.

I never thought of it, but you're right puddles can be beautiful, pools of starlight's reflection. Nice imagery, congrats on your placement.
