Though this is an everyday object, it lacks a point of interest. Maybe an object added to the asphalt or shooting it at a different angle like looking down the center of the road or something like that.
Sorry but I do not see much of a message here. I guess man ruins the world by paving over nature. That's true enough, but the image has nothing much going for it.
ok, i understand what you're shooting at, and i would like to score it higher, but for two things: 1) it is small (it should be at least 640 pixels on the longest side), and 2) because of #1, i can't really see enough of the detail to tell if its in focus or to appreciate the coloring.
Hmm. I "get" it. At first, I marked down a little because although it fits the challenge, it did not seem very interesting, however, I felt compelled to look at it longer. I felt I was drawn in, and on longer examination, there is some really great texture going on here. I find it thought provoking. Nice job.
