Thank you. I appreciate the in-depth critique. I get them so rarely, it's nice when someone is specific in what they like or don't like about an image.

Critique Club here...

Very nice, especially for a first entry here!
This is a tough one to critique...I like it. The color, the composition they work well together. Usually very centered shots are rather static (the red light being centered here) but the rule of thirds was observed with the 2/3 use for the diagonal lines, and they point to the left, to a vertical line that leads the viewer to the 'No Parking', whcih is the photo's title, it all ties together rather nicely.

I can't say that I would change anything about this shot. Well done, and I suspect you'll do well here at DPC.

This was my first challenge. I want to thank f-32 for making my day! myra, I think if I included the source of the red in this image it would wreck my vision for it...the purpose was to be puzzling...to make people try to figure it out. Elsewhere in the discussions I have read that abstracts don't do well on this site. However, this image did get a POTD at Photoshowdown.com. My thanks to all who commented.

I want to see where this red is coming from as part of the photo.
