First I have to thank to Sean for this challenge, too.

I never thought to take photos of concrete before, and I found to be so exiting and interesting to look
for this so common element on our daily life and see it as a potential beauty :)

Therefore, I took lots of concrete shots and I really enjoyed doing this. (I'll not show them all here - I chose some that I thought to be worth it to show).
The problem is that I find difficult to chose the one to go with into the contest.

I love my current entry (the Christ) as a photo, but I think it doesn't say concrete strongly enough.

#1 - Tunnel (I uploaded this first to the gallery, but deleted it)

    A lot of cool shots. My favs are: #2b Railroad Ties & 2e (I've never seen concrete ones - only wooden!! - but I like the shots for the lines & repetitions), and both towers are neat, good perspectives. And kinda weird, cuz normally I prefer minimal to no blurred movement in shots (keep finding more exceptions to my brain template), but I think #4 works really well too - I think if the people were crisp, the shot would lack something, & I really like the processing on it too.

    Thank you Jenn, Lillian and Linda :)

    I went with the last one, witch is probably not the best sharp concrete type of image, but it's different...

    Good luck to all of you!
