 This is the sidewalk out front of my apartment after it had just finished raining. Save for Web sucked on this, but it's not going to do well anyway since it's abstract and has no color punch. Predicting 4.9 and 1 comment, which will be made accidentally when some hapless voter gets so bored looking at this entry that they fall asleep and inadvertantly hit their head on the keyboard.

Hi Karmabreeze - the internet is a strange place huh?

Your Blog

I learned something new - thanks. Your photo fits the challenge perfectly and if not for your title I'd have never known the photographer. I'll give it a 10 and say good luck to ya Rebecca. };>)

This is exactly what I think of when I think of an image without a subject--a picture that is still well composed, with good lighting, that you would want on your wall, but you would just have a hard time telling another person what it's about or why it's there. The only qualm I have is that putting "calcestruzzo" in the title kind of makes it what the photo is about, but if I hadn't looked it up I never would've known what it meant, anyway. 10.

Beautiful abstract...though I think I would prefer full focus.
