I love the shadows and all this they imply ~V~

Good shot! V

Same place, different view. Speaking of which, that's something that I've always found... disconcerting... about urban America; the number of bail bond shopfronts. It's a concept that as far as I know doesn't even exist down here. Or if they do, not in sufficient numbers to warrant a prominent retail industry.

That blurry figure is just awesome in this scene!

Very dark mood to this one. The bonding company, the dark figure moving into the frame and the underexposure conveys the feeling perfectly. The large area of complete black in the center of the image hits the home run. Excellent, Julie. Big vote.

Dark and a bit menacing... and perfect. V

Nicely composed for an interesting story. Signs of the times?

Love the contrast and tones, as well as the perspective. Great with the figure and the bail company. "V"

The high contrast black and white presentation really adds to the mood and message here. V

Agree with Helen. Wonderful mood throughout the entire scene. All
the elements mentioned come together incredibly well!

The bail bond office fits perfectly with the entire mood of the scene. I like the light in the windows and the sole pedestrian, too. V.

Sadthat a town or city needs an office like this. Well spotted
