Really like this one. You often have a very high subject with a large foreground, which often establishes a base for the overall composition and tonal range. Here again you effectively use that to amplify the brightly lit building and truck. Clouds are lovely, too.

@GJC: thanks gjc. it is true about the foreground. i'm often attracted to the details in the foreground - tire tracks, gravel, weeds in the cracks, etc...

Great 'Living' shot, nothing fancy, it's just 'as is' the reality. Beauty.

Cool- the shadow is engulfing the truck and seems like it has its back against the wall. I don't know if you guys have Sit 'n Sleep at KC, but corporate chains are eating up the mom & pops one by one.

@Howard F.: thanks howard. we don't have that chain, but the same trend. one of my kids just told me a good one though - a starbucks moved in right by a coffee shop where he likes to go. it was a small reverse to the trend. everyone was so pissed off at the aggressive move, that the local place got busier, and the starbucks eventually left.

I love this...the lighting is so trippy and makes this whole scene feel very surreal.
Bravo to you and your eye!

@bluechameleon: thanks very much! this place is right by a place where i like to eat. the workers must think i'm crazy, but that sign seems to catch light in a really unique way. so, i'm often wandering out photographing the place.
