A very strong composition this one. I like the balance of the twin doors.

I like this image of the double loading docks. At first glimpse, they resembled two faces staring out at me.
You can tell it's very early here! :-)

imho the signage competes too strongly with the subtle complexity of line. best...jerry

Agree with ordinaryimages that there is “subtle complexity” in the lines; however the signage plays an extremely important role in the composition. It keeps the all the elements all on the same level. Just put your finger over the sign and you will see that the buildings “fall back” and the image becomes more depth oriented and conventional. And who is to say that the subtle aspects of an image cannot coexist with strong graphic ones. They do not have to compete for our attention, but can be explored one after the other. There are more ways than one to look at something. Matter of fact the very obviously strong graphic images or delicate subtle ones that can be appreciated at one glance often do not hold one’s interest as long as an image that is capable of handling both and can be enjoyed for the things one can discover after the initial viewing.

@daina: thanks daina. what i like about the sign is how conservative and constrained it is - it seems to mirror the building and perhaps even the nature of the business.

Don't 'get' everything Daina is saying, nor do I agree with OrdinaryImages. The Shipping Receiving sign wonderfully breaks the perfect symmetry, adding interest. Love the mood, textures, light. Curious why you included so much of the bottom of the frame.

@Mindy: well, i seem to do that a lot. i'm not sure i can explain it. it adds another stripe of something. plus i'm usually interested in the little details on the ground.

I don't know what is an overdoor, but they sure do have a cool looking docking bay. Good shot Grant.

Love the negative foreground, glad you chose to include it in your frame. Without it, there would no real sense of scale. Cheers!

Yes, the signage is the visual anchor point, but I dont think it is too competitive.
