The April Challenge Competition for the Heat of Texas Professional Photographers Guild was “Repetitive Patterns.” Our train for New Orleans was late getting into Houston.  The last time we went, I noticed the platform and how the supports lined up.  I am not sure how many different pictures I took of them, but it was a lot. I finally decided one of them was worth more time.  This began as an HDR image.  After processing, the colors were rather bright, as much of the support was painted AMTRAK blue.  So, once I had the composition I wanted, I decided to convert it to Black and White. This image took first place in the competition.
