The Hemp Store???? Great shot. Major storm coming. I like the muted tones, the old architecture with the modern tarp stripes.

I like the drama of the sky - works to make the people and stuff seem somehow small - even the looming light post works towards this, which for me, is what makes the image work. 7 may bump later.bump to 8

for shots like this, I would have liked the verticals to be fixed during post processing. This is because the tilt does not add to image IMO.

Comment by eschelar:
At first, I didn't get it. I thought, "Is this some sort of stupid 'hemp/marijuana' joke?"

BUT. I kept looking. And in the back there, you can see a halo of light surrounding a chapel/synagogue/probably religious building of some sort.

And so you have juxtapositioning.

And it did indeed take a bit of extra looking.

What's clever though is that there is enough general visual interest that your eye wants to keep looking to give the pic the time needed to get that.

Very nicely accomplished. Went from 6 to a 9.
