I think this is a better entry to the abstract contest, being a genuine photograph, rather than my earlier entry of a picture I've chopped and changed.
With a tweak of HDR and a touch of saturation, I liked how those straight expansion joints in the concrete look like veins, the overall narrative is an analogy to our urban expansion over nature, or is nature holding the concrete back?

Good job on this one John. Nice textures in the photo and a creative idea for an abstract. Best of luck in the contest.

Well, I noticed the nice straight trimming job of the grass, more than the veins. Kinda strange for a redneck to notice something like that, huh?

Nice work framing the geometry here. I think this does work as an abstract piece...

A great natural abstract of a subject that many overlook, John! I really like the textures and varying shades in the concrete that were brought out by the HDR treatment. Wonderful work and a Big Congrats on your first place win!!
