I like the strong graphics of this shot, but even more the cool parody of the very physical sport of surfing, contrasted with the handicapped parking signs. Good shot Tuna!

Not bad.... I also like the graphics and shapes of the photo. I played around with it, it looks even more abstract with the bottom parking lots cropped out so only the poles can be seen.

The blue sky is quite powerful here... Velvia at work.

Wow what strong and vivid colors here. As GB1 pointed out, the crop without the parking lot adds an interesting element of abstract to the picture. Love the shot!

Sweet shot Tuna. I agree with GB1's cropping suggestion.
I pity all those who have grown up only knowing digital and never the wonders of Velvia; all film for that matter.

Very appealing, Tuna. I like it as is , no crop. I find strong here in composition all the parallel lines. The sign poles and the tree The lines for the parking spots. The slats on the structures, and the lines on the building. and , of course, great color.

Nice shot. Works great as is. :)

Flippin heck Tuna how striking is this. The brilliant shots you get from the ordinary never ceases to amaze me and technical excellence on top.

Before I looked at the quotes from the others I laughed out loud at the irony in this photo. I was just down at the local store where a muscular chap (had to be into wieghts) parked in a handycap space to save the 10 second walk to the store front. What is the world coming to.

Great photo and statement. I would definately keep the signs in.

I love the colours and the symmetry you've captured

Great color on this photo!
I love the composition and the juxtaposition caused by the handicap signs. This is really a great picture! Everything about it makes me smile, want to grab my camera, get outside and shoot!

When I take photos I always try to avoid signs such as the hadicap ones, once again someone on the forum shows me how to incorporate an object and make one hell of a presentation.

Great job!

Thanks to all for your comments.

Frankly, I am surprized at the positive response. I don't normally post something so abstract in it's design. Also, I wasn't sure what to expect in posting something so carefully conceived - with what may be perceived as a social message. I thought maybe that it would be of little interest - and it still may be to most - but thanks again for your responses and critique.
