shot this a couple of weeks ago while waiting for my bus. i like the contrast in surface and the texture of both surfaces.

but the main reason to shoot were the intersecting curves.

comments and suggestions welcome as usual.

No critique here. I love abstract shots like this. Well done!

Great shot. I love the contrast between the curves of the building on the right and the straight edges on the left ... but wait it curves too. It also nice you were able to keep extraneous details/subjects from creeping in.

yes, i love the curve at the top of the brick wall. it was built in the late 1890s as the city jail.

there was a street light at the bottom i cropped.

Well done. It's so cool when you see great shots in the things we see every day.

I also like the shot. The contrast of the 2 surfaces and the curves makean interesting composition. I would crop on the sides more to make the curves stand out even more. It is good in B&W as well.
