Love the contrast between the cobblestones and the puddle. I would have cropped out the ashphalt in the corner. Having just two elements would have made this image stronger.
actually, a nice variation of textures here, as it goes from the bricks, to the water, to the pavement. not really an abstract, but it sorta haas that feel to it.
I like the patterns here. IMO, it may have benefitted from a tighter crop, including only the water and the the brick pattern in the upper right hand corner.
'7' - Nice shot to meet the Challenge. Criticism; whilst I do like this shot I think it has more potential (if the 'scene' allowed of course), I would really like to have seen a real 'balance' or symmetry here, ie; more asphalt/bitumen, the same amount as the paving/bricks, with the water in the middle. I like the angle, the reflections and the color. An interest in how the b/w might have worked, but I think what you have here is good, just the said 'balance', and it would have been a much better shot in my opinion. edit:typo
