@ordinaryimages: a real convenience store.
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Really dig those two lanterns on the ground, and in-front of a Federal building too. Nice shot.

The two lanterns really pull this shot together, well seen.

Love how the building fills the frame. The shadows and light are excellent.

most people would have stolen the lamps, here they steal the hangers :-)

@david: if you try to steal in beverly you just might get shot, and not by the cops...
Annie Viguié from Bordeaux, France
What is attractive in this photo, it is the play of the shadows. Rights which zigzag suddenly. I also like that we see the inside of the store through the window. The small lanterns in the entrance on each side are delicious.

A little bit of everything: Cannon, sunkist and stamps! Nice eye.

Those two lamps in an odd way mimic each “store” front that they sit in front of as if they were a smaller version of them. There is an alien quality to this – in a good way :}

You made a great selection to spot and shoot this image with all the lines. Nice contrasts in the shot too. Well exposed and processed.

A light unto my feet! A marvelous shot Grant! The lamps and the bars across the windows grabbed me. Since the bars pose little if any security I would think they are there solely to discourage sitting in the window while discussing the crops.

@Bill: you know, it's a good point about the bars. i had just assumed they provided security, but of course they wouldn't.

very nice tones and a melancholic mood - I like it

I won't find a poster with your photo on it inside, will I?

@Twelvebit: i swear i've never been charged with a crime in beverly.
michele from Canada
the lamps on the ground are odd. i like though that there is no obvious answer in the image. and i also like that you give us just a little sliver of beyond the building.

You've caught that mellow sun and shadows again... perfect, and the small view on the right gives the image breathing space.

The lanterns are so odd to this - yet there they are. An intriguing image, Grant

Except for the lanterns, which I find quite out of place really, this could have been taken in any country town here.

Exceptional capture. Wonderful storefront style appeal and the light and shadows are magnificent.

Interesting movement how the eye is pulled into the picture quickly from the left and then meanders on the right, then slowly back to repeat the process. Another great composition.

not sure if those little lanterns add to the place or if they are out of place. :-)

a wonderful slant with the lamp-posts on the ground

Grant,
I still like it after looking at it a few times over the last few days.
12 Mar 2009 10:22pm
@Gavin: thanks very much gavin
Rachael from Heber Springs, United States
The bars on the windows seem strange for a post office & the lamps are on the sidewalk. You found an unusual place.
12 Mar 2009 11:23pm
@Rachael: i think it's more than a post office - a store with a post office inside it.
