 Shot as found at my job.

I was working late, watching the demolition contractor shore up the roof so he could take down walls, and I was looking for something to shoot for this metal challenge. I found lots of stuff - it's a friggin' construction site! But, what I liked the most were lines created by this ductwork staged for the next day's work.

Post processing involved conversion to grayscale, levels, curves, and USM. No cropping or rotation, but I did add the border...my camera isn't that good.

Missed this one during the challenge. Very cool abstract. It took a good eye to spot this in a mundane workplace.

wow! this is great. i like the contrast and the clarity of the shapes--it's cool that they are "almost" geometric, but not quite... nicely composed, well balanced. and the frame complements it.
