I like the way you got low for this shot, accentuating the height of the shelves. A daunting task for the stock boy, who's not much of a boy anymore.

Aw crap! I was hoping you would beat me... Seriously! Well at least our shots will be side by side "snuggling" next to each other like you said. May the stock boy and Rakel find happyness ever after :)

Oh dear. I'm beginning to think I need professional help. I'm starting to think like you in some weird and abnormal fashion. I liked this. I liked the perspective, yes, but mostly I liked the feel of it. Real, a little lonely but not too, and everyday. Ain't nothing wrong with the florescents - that's the way they are - bright, washed out looking. I think you captured them quite well actually.

Nice shot, Don. The lighting's tough, but way to go to find converging lines without a railroad or street between skyscrapers. :)

Flourescent lighting is so unforgiving.

Now here's an interesting shot; to my mind it cries out for black and white - or at the very least a heightening of the contrast to bring out the closing lines of those shelves - and you slight wide-angle works terribly well to suggest the shelves towering over him too. You might have hoped to catch a better moment fom your unsuspecting model? Some sense of weariness perhaps? He seems just a touch ordinary, just working, just a bit disengaged from any emotion or feeling. But these are all nit-picking points - I like this shot a good deal.

I find the idea and the composition quite interesting, but somehow I don't like the result. I guess it's something with the colors and the ceiling...

Not voted all yet - but this idea also occurred to me and I think you have executed it very well. 8.

Those fluorescents wash this out. Like the vanishing lines of the shelves, though.

Good double entendre.

Busy and way to much glare from the top of picture.
