I agree with the comments that this was boring, and flat, but frankly that pretty much sums up my opinion of city life :) Thanks 'ratanjit'! Your symmetry comment was on the money. I hadn't noticed it.

This picture comes across as kinda flat. Maybe if you had gotten a macro of the weeds growing between the concrete it would have had more depth.

Not sure about your title there... but your shot shows a different side of city life we wouldn't normally think of.

Very creative. Could be taken for an aerial shot of a much larger area. 6 sjgleah

This is one of my favorites. If I use my imagination, it's as if I'm viewing a line of trees from about 10,000 feet in the air. Very cool!

A little sarcastic? Nice enough shot, but I think you should have gotten closer, so I could at least make out the type of weeds growing in the cracks. Photo 8 City 6 total 7

HAHA. Gotta love the humor in the title. I like this shot. It's sort of the opposite of what you see from a plane with all the green and some pavement.

Humorous! Is this the same person with the GE sense of humor? The title, then the picture - just made me laugh. What a clever one you are.

Is this the Dodgy Photographers Challenge? There is art and there are very boring pictures.

Could have been a great theme as life struggles to grow thorugh a concrete jungle. However the title"botanical garden" did not attract attention. Also composition is too symmetric to evoke interest though the "probable" concept is fantastic

i think this is a good concept. i wish there wasn't just so much sidewalk...but i guess that just expresses more how concrete is taking over nature. or something.
