I really enjoy this piece because its a really good example of implied line. Implied line, most commonly, is using any sort of broken line to create the sense of a line without it being there. The way they use it in this piece makes it much more visually interesting because you have to search a bit more for the image that you normally would.

In this piece the artist uses implied line to represent the rain. Instead of using full lines to show rainfall, he uses dashed line. This gives more of a feel to the rain and makes the piece more interesting than if it were solid diagonal lines.
