Good idea to put the lines on the diagonal.

Yup, you're right, it cement! Although the patterns could be considered interesting, personally I find this shot about as exciting as paint drying. It's a well taken shot. Great focus, nice contrast with the shadows. 6 Swash

Comment by RedRuthann:
Excellent - witty title too. Great lines, focus, contrast, color - all great. Perhaps not the most appealing subject, but you've done a great job of photographing it. Well done!

Comment by FranziskaLang:
it's textured all right. it's in focus and otherwise technically properly executed. i like that you've put the stripes diagonal. there's just that little something missing for me to interrupt the monotony and hold the eye a little longer. just not sure what that would be, some kind of other small object somewhere. -- gr8photos (5)

I am one of the folks here that probably doesn't go for the wallpaper, full frame photo of texture as much as a having a subject like a concrete filling a portion of the frame with depth of feild providing a background. I realize this is personal preference. That being said..I really like the diagonals here and think there is a tremendous potential in the subject...5..hokie

Perfect use of B&W, well lit, and an interesting composition. Gets a 9.

funny title, but the image itself is not very interesting though.

Hehe, nice title. Nice framing job, the diagnol lines work well in your 3:2 ratio'd image.

Your shot has possibilities, but you didn't exploit them. I would have set the lighter cement colors as white and kept the shadows black. Then it would have had more power. Also, a picture like this should be brutally sharp.
