What is it? Well, as you can see the divided yellow line becomes more divided than originally intended on a roughly-paved culdesac due to weathering.

Well, What do you Know? The answer was right under my feet all the time! :}

I thought this shot had some good potential to it, I liked how the stones gave two storng diagonals towards the upper left and right side of the frame. I also thought that the texture of the stones and the slight holes in the paint gave some interest in the photo throughout. The lighting in the upper right was bright enough to attract my attention there first before exploring the photo, and felt if the lighting were more even throughout the entire photo it would accenuate the textures better and not have given the white rock parts the overglow that currently apprear on them in the back upper right.

Yospiff, That's Classic! I'm hearing Mr. Spock (while actually looking like he's doing a little horizontal rock climbing) saying, "PAIN!.......PAIN!.......CRY........FOR........THE.........CHIL-DREN! PAIN!" :}

A stumper, so meets the challenge. I like the foreground/background tension in this. Details are good. You made an interesting DOF choice ... Some might prefer deeper DOF, not sure how I feel about it.

Kirk: "Spock... what... is... it...?

Spock: "It's life captain, but not as we know it. TricorderĂ¢„¢ readings indicate it is a sulphur based lifeform. It's primary activity seems to be watching encore presentations of early 21st century reality shows".

Kirk: "Bones... it's... clearly... suffering. Can... you... help...?"

McCoy:"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a physician! Um..., oh yea, right."

Kirk: "We... must... help. Phasers... on... disintegrate..."

The yellow painted line on a road that is starting to crack apart? Great textures.

Lichen
I would have gone perpendicular to the surface, then everything would be focused (you don't have a lot of perspective anyway). Some side lighting to accentuate the textures and it's perfect.

Is this past it's sell by date? nNce macro, gets a good score from me. The bottom left is just a liitle little OOF. I wonder if this image would be better if it was either completely OOF or sharp.

Cool contrast. A little boring.

I want to say parking lot stripes or road stripes, but you'd think there wouldn't be unpainted rocks sticking out if it were spray painted. Looks more like a spill of some sort.

I like this. Lichen growing on a rock?

No vote, just guessing...

I want to say it was moss on a rock but the color was replaced
