WOW!

beautiful, would have done well in the 'Dapple Shade' contest too. Isn't it interesting how often a photo will fit more than one contest in the same week.

Oh I want to go lay under that tree so bad!!!!!

Very nice. The shadows from the willow add a lot

This is beautiful

nice shot

great idea, and I feel for you, but the DOF is a bit too shallow, for my liking.

I feel the same way in my town

High marks from me, this is a very good photograph of a very sad situation.

Thank you Friiskiwi. I am a noob, so to hear praise from someone with such talent means a lot.

It is very ugly here. There still is a huge number of unemployed right now (including myself). Hopefully things will change soon.

Cheers.

Ditto from me too author - the cracked and vacant parlinkg lot adds to the decay, specially seeing that employees probably used to park here in better times.

strong image
