This time I had too many pictures to choose from, maybe that is an indication of my skill level, or lack thereof! Anyway, I've been wanting to take a picture of this area forever but the guard at the building has stopped me almost everytime. He wasn't there today, so I snapped away and came up with this one.
Cloned out the dust, must clean the sensor. Desaturated in photopro, pumped up the contrast. Cropped to 5x7.
Lens 28-300 at 64mm

Excellent pattern and abstract shot! For the final you might consider cloning out some of the bigger sparkles on the left which look almost like dust (and equally distracting!) What is the shadow from?
Can't "see" what this is - can't resolve it - but I love the abstract nature and contour lines of light and shadow. That strong horizontal towards the top really anchors the rest of it.
