Across the street from my apartment windows lies an empty parking lot for Liggett Meyers Tobacco. Took this photo of the lone standing sign after a day of rain.

Nice shot, Jaime! The undulation of the surface is what attracts me the most, like there is something a bit unreal here. I also like your composition and how the sign is highlighted. Excellent!

Hi Jaime,
like Tournesol wrote the ondulation looks unreal. A great shot.
Fred

Hi Jaime, great shot ! Beautifully done, it looks surreal.

Marleen

An interesting picture with a bit of surreal aspect, Jaime!!! I am not being really original here as all of the others have said the same thing but I do agree with them...I like the colours of black, rust and gray and the sign just adds to the whole composition. Well done!

Interesting shot, I like the wavy effects of the parking lot, the sign is well placed
well done.

tobacco! welcome to NC ;-)
not that you're necessarily new here
just with regard to its history in the state
as i'm sure you're aware based on your intro
the sign's text is nice and legible
if you don't mind a thought...
i wonder if the impact of the "undulations"
could have been more dramatic [long, continuous...]
had you been able to show more distance to the left of the sign
of course i have no idea what else might have been in the parking lot
that you wanted to keep out of the shot
so like i said - just an idea

What a strange atmosphere on this car park !
Undulations make me think of a blast after an explosion. I like its faded colours just enhanced by the red letters on the sign, and the inscription “Employee parking only” in this desert place... as if it was the car park of a phantom manufacture... TFS
