Arcade

My Get Pushed challenge by Tineke was to take an urban photo. When I think of urban I think grunge for some reason. This is quite an old fashioned entry to a shop with lots of display cases that are rarely used because they often get smashed by the local louts.

Finalist
This looks like it could be really beautiful. Well taken

I think of grunge too. Love your choice of processing as it works well on this.

What a shame. I agree with Sue, this must have been beautiful!

That is so neat looking!!! Great eye!!!

Such beautiful detail, what a pity there are such thoughtless and ignorant people around!

That is very sad! Looks like it could be very beautiful - love the lines here!

Great shot of this arcade!!! Sad that the display windows can no longer be used!!!

Nice pov! Too bad the cases are empty.

This is really nice street photography! I am struggling to do it, but I think you are a natural. Fav

A great pov - pity the display cabinets cannot be used because of a few idiots.

What an absolute waste of beautiful old display windows. I love that pressed tin ceiling and leadlight around the top of the display windows. These windows would look fabulous decorated up for Christmas. Wonderful capture for your challenge. Really fits the bill.

Great POV which disappears into more glass. I also like hoe the pathway though is not a clean line, adds so much interest.

A really interesting image, it has a sense of desolation about it. Can imagine it would have been a bustling prosperous shop years ago :)
November 9th, 2014  
another fab shot!!
November 9th, 2014  
Super shot! Looks as though it's a huge shop! What a pity it's so empty.
November 9th, 2014  
How sad, great POV
November 9th, 2014  
I thinknof grunge too. Great street photography, it looks almost spooky and empty.
November 9th, 2014  
Looks like it needs some cleaning. Love your pov here.

@888rachel Oh no I struggle too, thanks so much for the encouragement :)

Nicely targeted Sheralee.

@peterlgrave Haha, pun intended Peter?

What a great shot and how sad. This must have been really spectacular once.
November 9th, 2014  
Great pov

Awesome POV! I love the ceiling. It is a shame that it is treated so poorly.
November 9th, 2014  
Great POV and leading lines.

Nice capture for your challenge.

I think the same thing when I think urban.
It looks like I'm your get pushed partner. I'd like you to do something that's near and dear to me, as you saw from some of my pictures and commentary. I would like you to use light to convey an emotion.

Is this in your home town? well captured
November 10th, 2014  
Love your POV, this really draws you in!
November 10th, 2014  
I like all the reflections
November 10th, 2014  
Great repetition. I think grunge too when I think urban xx
