Abandonment at the Parking Lot

I was wandering around in this Chicago neighborhood for a little while, waiting to meet someone, and I happened to notice quite a few empty parking lots (it was Sunday morning) within a couple of blocks, some in sadly dilapidated condition.

For the Birds

  • West End Avenue, Ventnor, New Jersey

An interesting challenge in photographic composition. Which image is stronger? In the top image we have the nice diagonal line of the birds, leading us in, as well as the converging lanes drawing our eye to the nearer and more prominent shopping cart. In the bottom image the bird in front draws the eye more, we still have the converging lanes and a diagonal line of birds, dividing the image almost in half, and I think there’s a stronger sense of the emptiness of the parking lot. Your thoughts?
