    Here are my picks. Feedback tomorrow.

    ETA general feedback:
    This challenge was difficult, I think, for many. To me, it wasn't enough to photograph the concrete. I wanted it to be a part of a bigger picture, a character in the story. The images I picked used concrete in that way. I think all the images I liked could be used as a jumping off point to a richly textured story - and those are always the most compelling kinds of pictures in my little world.

    I think this is a cool Idea... I think they used to be voted on by a small group? I liked that because they always gave reasons for their choices....
    Now, how you did that cool block of photos.... and then I will choice mine!

    Wonderful entries, as always. It took me a while to decide and choose for this one. The first thing I look for is what is visually appealing to me. Next, does it convey the theme to me? Do I look at that photo and see concrete? After than it is the details, the dof, the view, the technique, etc... I am not good at C&C, but I know what I like to see and just have to go with it usually.
    Here are my favorites in the order they were entered.

    I did it in photoshop by placing them on a canvas and resizing them until I made myself stop for fear of nurturing my OCD tendencies.

    Lots of great images. Sorry I don't have time to make any comments on the 6 photos in my collage - heading out of town again.

    Here are some of my favs. I really love curved lines in those arches. They are quite eye-catching.
