 Well... There is quite a bit of construction at our college so I walked around to a couple of the sites and took some random pictures. During this process I noticed an interesting formation in the dirt at one of the sites, made by the tires of one of the construction vehicles.

The post processing was done in Photoshop using the following:

Sharpen
Brightness/Contrast
Color Balance
Hue/Saturation
Resize

Then I threw on a border.

Nice tread detail. I think they would have stood more at a lower angle.

I really like the design, the colors, and the idea that it impresses on construction. Great work!

Lovely picture. But I am not sure that it says 'construction'

Really cool lighting and subject. I would question maybe putting a hammer or piece of lumber or something in the upper right; but at the same time I wonder if it would take away from the picture. great work 9

One of the most artistic and unique approaches to the challenge. It really says all that needs to be said. Great composition and color work. One of my favorites.

Nice picture! The colors are bit mysterious. The only comment I have concerns the DOF. It should have been a bit larger to make it tack sharp entirely.

Gorgeous

wonderful textures. border is a bit heavy, i think - a dark shade of grey might have worked better than black.
