I think you were robbed on this one, Deb.
I love how synthetic nearly everything feels. The giant containment buildings, the wall, parking lot (confusingly labeled with no parking), barbwire, gates... even the flowerbed feels fake, put there to meet an end. The tree is the only thing that feels alive, reaching off away from the scene.
I like how the white line cordons it off, as well.

You said there are shoes??? I've... well... I've looked at this several times... and well... Golly.

I'm embarrassed. *sigh*

Yet still... this is SUCH a cool shot.

Shoes?? Really!? *sigh again* ....

Must confess I didn't see the shoes either until I read your comments :( even when I put my glasses on! Sorry it didn't do better.

The shoes are right under the "P", undie...

Deb, this sort of met the same fate as mine. It's a very nice shot in a classic genre of black and white "observation", and it got lost in a sea of drama and flash. RIP.

I like it very much.

This would have been my pick. Great perspective. What focal length was it at?

Absolutely gorgeous. The black and white is perfect.

I don't see any shoes.... for small detail, I find a bird above that exotic, tropical California tree that will never shed it's leaves.
I think a good observation and super good b&w - canned "Nik" though it may be - it has a special look. v9

something's wrong or something's missing because that looks like a parking space to me!
