 I looked down and there it was- a bottlecap, framed by the shadow of some telephone wires. I love this image for its simplicity and effectiveness. I certainly didn't expect to find a beautiful image in the form of one bottlecap and some shadows. Serendipity indeed! =)

I can not see well what is inside the cap but anyway a wonderful texture

Nice abstract. The chance of finding a bottlecap and artistically portraying it well fit's the challenge, imo..

interesting subject matter. would probably be visually more appealing for me with the bottle cap off center more.

A gritty and intersting shot, especially with the lines in the concrete (or asphalt?) but I didn't find it terribly compelling past that - perhaps it could be improved if the bottle cap were in crisper view.
