Thanks to those who voted and commented on the post. This was my first post here. I wish I had moved the shopping cart toward the camera a little more to expose some of the tarmac above it. I'm not from Philly, we do call them "shopping carts" in Texas. The name was a play off of "Dune Buggy". Anything with four wheels and sides is accepted as a "buggy" around here. The shot looked more dreary in B&W than in color. Thanks again and I hope to learn alot from some of the obviously talented people who frequent this site.

This picture gives me the most feeling of desolation of all the photos. Little bit nicer if it was not so bright, but the composition is beautiful.

the light tones and open space would be more effective in this if the shopping cart was positioned lower versus being lost in the trees up top.

The wet spot in front of the cart makes the cart look like it is suspended in air. Great optical illusion.

The impact trolley is lost somewhat in this image, especially towards it's top edge. I wonder if a closer study of the trolley surrounded only by bleak tarmac, no buildings or sky or anything, would have more impact?

the dry looking trees seem to be standing watch over the dead cart

You're not from Pittsburgh, by chance...? I always thought that calling a shopping cart a "buggy" was a Western PA thing.
