After several images deliberately worked on to be acceptable to a specific Flikr group, I thought it was time to finish this one in a way I found pleasing. I like concrete, I like cars, and I really like light - so what more could I ask for in this shot from a local mall?

I spent quite some time working on this, removing minor elements that were getting in the way of impact, and trying to achieve a good balance between light and shape - which at times seemed at odds with each other. The introduction of color was a late decision, but one that seemed to balance the light-shape issue.

One of the best bits about the opportunity was that the concrete was shiny enough to afford some reflections of the cars. I also like the idea of all these cars hiding here, out of the light.
