I think this is so well done. The sky is lovely and we expect from the symmetry everything to match against that lovely sky -- and then . . . Very well seen.

@GJC: Thanks GJC. Ironically not so pretty beneath the lamp and blue sky :)

another great, well composed shot. like the silhouette and colors and light. i don't always like the grainy look but i think you pulled it off here. were there by any chance some power lines in the background you may have photoshopped out? it looks almost like there are some very faint diagonal lines in the background.

@danthro: Thanks Danthro. Yeah, this is a parking lot, and it has a few power lines going above. Very very faint.

Great photo. What I like here the most is the incredible sky. Is it due to high ISO that there is some noise in the picture?

@Wysterior: Thanks Wys. ISO 200 actually. I don't usually ask for prints, so the lab scan directly from the negative and enlarge it, so the grain on the negative is very very clear. Had they scanned the photography, it would be a much more smooth image.
