I had quite a few ideas for this challenge, but this shot which reprises my second-ever entry here came out too good to resist submitting. It is helped by having the aspect ratio restrictions eliminated.

The MacArthur Maze is one of the 5 busiest interchanges in California, and includes connections between Interstate Highways 80, 580, 880, 980, State Route 24, and the Bay Bridge. I was pretty lucky to get a shot virtually devoid of cars. This is taken northbound on I-980; the ascending ramps lead to I-580.

Very interesting lines throughout. Get that feeling of going nowhere when I get on those things. But then I am kind of a hick. (C: Too bad not a clearer day

there are plenty of leading lines in this photo .. but they lead you out of the image .. not into it .. could be a shot to recreate for bridges though :)

Lots of lines going in all different directions. Where is the subject?

Composition is pretty good. Tones are flat for me and the lines do not take me anywhere particular - they just go everywhere.

Good shot. Nice cropping. You might want to try this shot in black & white. 7.

I *almost* did something similar with some highways in Pittsburgh, but I went a different direction -- nice job!

excellent architecture shot... the lines are nice, but they are also the subject of the photo rather than leading to a subject or point of interest... - setzler
