Just went to the back of the supermarket across the street from my place, looking for a flat surface, and a wall. I know what you mean about the concrete, but I have a version where the lines in the concrete are Photoshopped out. I actually found that the converging lines towards the form add an interesting element. I felt that taking them out would make the picture seemingly more "perfect" which led me to start nit-picking other "imperfections" like her left hand stretched a little further than her right foot, little tear on her tights, etc. It then becomes too "unreal."
