    Re: "Hungry?"

    I like the shot but am confused by the title. Also, this shot seems familiar ... did you post a variation of it before?

    The color is excellant, and I like how the road leads you in. It is a bit soft but that may be acceptable here since it's less about perfection and more about feeling and abstraction. The clouds work very well. I hate the vertically hanging telephone lines though.. Seems to block the entry a little. Maybe you can remove them. There is a slight tilt to the image but I think it is natural. Good post.

    Great contrast on this and love the clouds. I might crop this in a hair from left and from the bottom. I've seen this shot elsewhere, think maybe while checking out your site a while back, and I remember seeing your title and couldn't figure out for a minute why you named it such. A slightly tighter crop might make the lunch sign stand out more as well. Great shot though, lots of character.

    Thanks everyone... this shot has been posted on a couple other boards including mine... maybe thats where it was seen... I was actually lucky (probably...LOL) that the lunch sign is even attached to the building anymore...LOL

    As per material edits... I dont do them... I try and keep things how they look in the picture... without removing polls, signs, and wire... if I cant get the perfect shot I make the best out of what I can when I take it... =)

    I have seen this some where before? But I really like the composition and the over all contrast. I agree that the clouds work well but I see some sort of artifacts in the upper left corner, Maybe caused by the resizing for the web. I would imagine that this picture would look wonderful blown up to a large print. Nice work.
