Yup, you're right, it cement! Although the patterns could be considered interesting, personally I find this shot about as exciting as paint drying. It's a well taken shot. Great focus, nice contrast with the shadows. 6 Swash
Excellent - witty title too. Great lines, focus, contrast, color - all great. Perhaps not the most appealing subject, but you've done a great job of photographing it. Well done! Ruthann
it's textured all right. it's in focus and otherwise technically properly executed. i like that you've put the stripes diagonal. there's just that little something missing for me to interrupt the monotony and hold the eye a little longer. just not sure what that would be, some kind of other small object somewhere. -- gr8photos (5)
I am one of the folks here that probably doesn't go for the wallpaper, full frame photo of texture as much as a having a subject like a concrete filling a portion of the frame with depth of feild providing a background. I realize this is personal preference. That being said..I really like the diagonals here and think there is a tremendous potential in the subject...5..hokie
Your shot has possibilities, but you didn't exploit them. I would have set the lighter cement colors as white and kept the shadows black. Then it would have had more power. Also, a picture like this should be brutally sharp.
It does have texture, and you have done well by having the "grain" move diagonally instead of vertically or horizontally, I think. It just seems a little monotonous. Maybe if you had added something that would contrast with both texture and color it would have more "grab appeal." karmat
Good job of bringing out the texture in the cement. I like how you put it on the diagonal. For me, though, this picture needs a bit more interest. I think the cement would make very interesting negative space for something colored or with some sort of opposite texture.
this reminds me a photo another person took for a prevous challenge, the only thing missing is the snail. good example of texture, not very origanal though
I think someone on the forum said last week that we'd see a lot of flat pictures. well, this certainly isn't one of them! I love the depth of it, looks very 3D. 7 beegee
This is definitely texture. My only problem with this image is that it lacks creativity. It's flat... no dimension... no color... no distinct subject... = 3 - jmsetzler
