A very telling capture Paula. Unfortunately this is the condition of many under roadway support structures. I like the scene as it is balanced with the brighter golden grasses in front which provides a nice contrast to the central part of the scene. Overall a very well done photograph Paula ~ Steve

I have not seen any photos from you for ages, but I like what I am seeing here. This is what I call an original and creative POV. It offers fine lines and shapes, great textures, and also a nice contrast between the construction and the golden dry grass in the foreground.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the photo, and the exposure is perfect.

The photo is also nicely framed, and the rule of thirds is well used. A different and interesting photo. It is also well taken with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A very nicely composed shot. I like the contrast between the field of weeds at the bottom and the concrete jungle at the top. The colors are great and the image has an organic look that makes it appear that one ecological system is grown from the other.

Bright, clear and very well detailed picture. Grafitis very nicely done on wooden beams... One may think maybe not sufficient for number of cars using this road. Very well detailed (thanks), centered and shadowed. Goof information and nice eye viewer.
Thanks for showing. Congratulations and Good Luck.

What is your reason for capturing those vehicles, my friend?
Cropping it would focus our attention on the contrasting foreground--soft dried grass & the hard concrete and steel backdrop. Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

    Just to see that it's a roadway and how cars could be at risk.
