It took me a minute to find the invisible man, Dale. Very clever.

Your composition is very intriguing. I like the not-quite-split-down-the-middle created by the vines and down-spout. I also think that the contrast of the windows and the graffiti. Interesting image, my friend. #1428316

Wow Dale, this really envokes some emotion! Especially with your added title...

I too enjoy the comp of the image! #9851508

This is very different. I think if I had not read the title I would have missed the shoes.
Can you tell more of the story? #9851603

thanks guys. Took this shot when Teresa led me down an alley in Seattle during my long trip in September. So much texture with the bricks, and was surprised to see the abandoned shoes. #9851720

Love all aspects of this, Dale. The comp, the message. There is a lot to look at here. Also, You two were brave to go down the alleys of a big city. #9852325

Thanks Debbie but I wasn't brave. I had Teresa to protect me. She is one brave girl in so many ways. #9852504

Very cool Dale...I love old buildings like this with all of the character in the brick, and the graffiti and broken windows make it even more interesting. Unfortunately these kinds of structures are usually in neighborhoods where one has to worry about getting shot while shooting... #9853124

Funny Tony :) You forget Teresa was there protecting him! #9853713

thanks everyone. Actually this was in a very nice area. The alley is the only part that looked a bit distressed. And besides, I had Teresa. :o) #9853889
