There are a lot of hidden elements in this shot which I noticed and thought it's interesting- the 1/2-hidden Rolex, the semi-transparent letters to the left, and that looks like a giant door behind the plastic strips. Ha, thanks for sharing.

A strange image and the greyscale works perfectly. Rolex would be so proud:-)

Really like this one. The overlapping elements of various tones, shapes and textures create a reality collage. The trees peeking out from behind and the watch add a whimsical element.

So many points of interest, where to begin.. I like the authorised reversed sign, the industrial plastic curtains, and the tube lights being outside without covers. It's an intriging one this..... Good.

Interesting composition, and I like it...it's all very nicely compartmentalized.

This is great. If you haven't already, you should submit this one to File Magazine --the magazine of unexpected photography.

Oh at last, I've been trying to get this to upload for the last couple days, sometimes I have trouble on this site..no doubt it's to do with the dial up I'm on..anyway, very interesting image, a real surprise with the curtain at ther bottom.
