This was posted in a recent thread. What a wonderful eye you have. Thank you. I feel the same way as chromeydome "This is the type of image I aspire to take, but never seem to achieve. Exceptionally well seen."

This is the type of image I aspire to take, but never seem to achieve. Exceptionally well seen, well done.

This struck me at once when I gave a look see at some of the entries. The textures pulse/vibrate as we try to apprehend what is before our eyes, the illusion of not quite seeing in bright light. I hope brilliant isn't too obvious a comment.

This kind of looks like a surveillance camera photo. :P I really like the cracks in the road; Between those and the white lines, it kind of plays tricks on your eyes a little bit.

interesting angle, I like the shadow fitting in the pattern
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:41:00 PM
Observant eye! The disrupted parallel lines and harsh lighting add to my feeling of impending doom. The perspective makes me think it might be the snit of a vengeful deity. Or, perhaps the photographer merely dropped the lithograph. I want to tell the lady(man) to walk faster. Maybe even run...

Also, great technicals for 720 pixels - this would be an easy photo to screw up in processing.
