    Nice find, I like the yellow on black and how the rusty grate complements it all.

    Nice capture, Elaine! I like the wet pavement and the slight shine. Nice gritty feel and detail.

    lol bigtime at your title. I had my thoughts collected to tell you how much I liked this composition and the color saturation and when the comment box popped up I noticed the title and started laughing. Now, I’m ruined on waxing eloquent.

    That smoking stop really is nagging you. Seeing smokes and ashtrays all over 😉 Love the colors and and saturation, rust is one of my favorites. Cool!

    I *like* this – the asphalt looks brilliant, and I love the black border. Cool/awesome/rock-on! ;)Re the smoking ban, tell me you haven’t lapsed!

    Absolutely GREAT picture Elaine, I like the industrial look and texture of it all–the yellow creates a boldness like a highlighter.

    Elaine, I don’t know what to add to the previous comments, I’m not inspired today. Of course, the photo is superb, a powerful visual composition.

    This is cool, cool, cool. I really love the contrast with the gritty tarmac and yellow lines. The tones on the drain cover are great. Now I know I’m an odd sod but do you know what I really like?? The bright green paper clip, it’s just totally out of context, why’s it there, who put it there??? Can you tell how much I like this one? It’s the only thing that’s made me smile today! Maybe another album cover ;O)Oh and no one seemed to get yesterday’s (mine), back to the drawing board 🙁

    Nicely spotted and photographed. Is this how a smoker sees the world? (Not an editorial comment – just curious).
