Hi Luis,
We are now more and more living in a man-made material world and get less and less face to face communications like the one we had in such little grocery stories. I can deeply feel the sad mood conveyed from this picture. Your pp work is excellent and strenthens the sad mood.

i think the foto has a nice artistic mood, i like the colors and composition, the lady is from a past or future dreaming world.
i like it

I love this shot. It has a lot of mood and emotion in it. The dark lighting and dark colours. So sad small business are not active anymore. I love little corner stores and wish their tradition would continue. Big corporate companies have destroyed everything. Great composition and colours. This image might benefit from a bit of sharpening though. Very well done.
One of my favourites.

This is right out of 'Twin Peaks'.
Dark and sombre mood that ties in with your note. sad.
I would want to go to the Pioneer Store for my groceries and meats - and a chat with the owner too. Extra sad.

Really like this. Colours and composition are good. The overall image quality is not great though. I see the file size is very small. This may explain it. Try saving for the web in photoshop with a file size optmised to 200KB.

Great docu-shot from Smalville, USA. The old lady body-gesture underlines your message. The idea to include the blurred moon is excellent.

I don't like (my taste) the dark halo in the upper part...
I think this portrait is so strong and touching that also without that PP it tals directly to the heart.....
I like it a lot
