I see they sold out before you got there Grant. That is always my luck too. I really like this one.

Sold out and gone home. Its the hint that once humans where here that I like. Have they fled suddenly? have they not been back for some time. That's quite a precarious structure too. A great shot as ever.

Is that hay bales behind it? The trees make a great backdrop here.

No more corn, but a lot of bales :) I love those bare tree branches in the background. Nice shot Grant.

What a story of seasonal passage. Like the spareness both in the natural setting and in the shed as well, all together combining to breathe the passage of fall.

Hrm, think I missed a name change while I was traveling? Nice shot, rather sad, expresses the change of season well.

@Stovepipe: thanks. and, i just figured out how to change it - didn't really think things through when signing up.

I like the small table under the stand. I like shades of posts ! Is it in the morning? In every place do you photography they are frequently nobody but the photo look alive !

@Annie Viguié: thanks annie. this is actually late afternoon, but long past the season for selling corn.

I like the emptiness of this image, even though the sign suggests something different. The end of a season in great tones!

The larger structure covering a much smaller similar structure is somehow poignant. The larger and stronger protecting the smaller and weaker of its kind. Anyway that is the first thing that came to my mind. I love it when inanimate objects can visually suggest the attributes of the living.

This has sort of a haunting surreal look that really transcends the subject --hyper-realistic. Are you doing something special in your processing or is it just a straight flimic representation of the environment and evening light?

@Twelvebit: nothing special - don't know enough about chemistry or ps for that...

A fine shot of this stand in the off-season. I can relate since I used to sell watermelon by the side of the road when I was a kid.

@don: really? sounds like a great job, at least for a while.

Seems odd to see it standing there unused.

I like the sense that time doesn't stand still, the sign of last seasons sales still stands in opposition to the empty shelter. Very nice work.

Sadly empty. No matter what the season..the corn stand stands!!!! Nice image.

Really fine, Grant. Though I still find myself in denial that summer is actually over. Pass the butter, please...

@Stephen Phillips: thanks stephen, and i'm in the same denial - despite overwhelming evidence of winter.

the corn may be all gone foe the season, but the hay bales are plentiful behind it, superb capture

Looks like the harvest is over for the year :) Together with the bare trees and stall, I get a sense of emptiness.

No push processing then, or other development tricks?
3 Dec 2008 12:11am
@Twelvebit: no, as basic as it gets i think
Rachael from Heber Springs, United States

@Rachael: your kind i place i guess, too bad it's out of season.
