I'm liking the black and white... Wish the right half wasn't so dark though, but that would've compromised the left half.... Hm...Still a very nice shot.

wish the background was seemless... I like it otherwise.

Good title. Would have like this in color. The contrast between sattelite dish and sky might make this pop. Still, nice subject.

Comment by HBunch:
the background looks horribly tilted. Of course, the cars could be parked on a hill, but given the photo, you could have straightened it out to at least look straight even if in 'real life' it is not. I don't find much visual appeal in this shot. The black and white doesn't appear to work here either. What I do find interesting is the sky in the background. I think it has a nice gradient look to it. Focus on the dish seems soft as well. Overall just not an image that draws me in and holds me there. ~Heather~

cool! fractionally soft, but I like the high contrast and the close crop.
