You've broken some composition rules here. And you've done this successfully. That stark white line on the black asphalt adds to the surreal feel of this complex image. It is a strong counterpoint to the scrambled sky. I love all of the lines, shadows, reflections, angles and values. Nicely done.

The white line makes the image striking. Great composition and of course the B&W is wonderful

@daina: thanks diana!
I hope you did´t need to go there because a event of death.
The photo gets very exciting because the plank, I want to see behind it! I´m a simple amateur, but I think this is a accomplished photo taken by you.

It's about as inviting as their business. But the image shows the as is state of things.

@Observing: well said. thanks.
yes -- this picture is amazing due to the brilliant composition! the white parking line adds a surreal amount of depth to an otherwise 2 dimensional photo -- it is like a visual trick, where 2-D suddenly becomes 3-D! bravo!

@dj.tigersprout: dj, thanks so much for your comments. it's very satisfying when people see a picture the way it looks to me - and have the ability to say so! (something i can never seem to do.)
looks like a simple composition at first sight but it's wonderful how every tiny part of this image has its own universe of elements, play of light and textures.
