Saturday I was filing in time.
I happened to look down.

B&W seemed to accentuate the curves.

The picture seemed a bit empty.
Setting this up I got a few strange looks.

    I like the one with the shoe. It definately captures curves...but it seems like there is still something missing... can't put my finger on it.

    I like the black and white
    I like the black and white one but it doesn't seem as sharp as the colored one. Dawn29546133-M.jpg

    Is it possible to shoot this pavement lit by the late afternoon sun or the very early morning sun? Or even a pair of strobes from a very low level? The lighting in the photo seems kind of flat to me, but the curves have potential I agree.

    Is this any better
    Dawn,

    I see what you mean.
    This one is sharper, any better?

    I am caught up at work and don't have time to reshoot.
    I will try again but I can't fit in the Challenge time period :cry
