another one I like is this. For the main reason of actually making trolleys look interesting. :) and the title definitely makes it work as well. :)

nice leading lines. possibly the vignetting is a bit too much, but a great image. the red really pops with all the greys and silvers. well done.

A great image. Feels like it needs something in the lower left side to give it a balance, but the dark tones here really give a sense of melancholy related to 'being put out to pasture.' Nice job.

Love the title. Is this like the elephant's graveyard?

hi again lisa!!
well, you've certainly made a very boring scene look interesting and very artistic ... excellent the way the light is on that closer trolley ...

I'm glad you decided on this shot. It really is nice to see the everyday interpreted in a very good photo. I like the red pops and the different angles.

Pretty interesting find. I like all the grays and silvers with the touches of red.

Something that easily could have been a boring, mundane photo made into a piece of art. Very well done!

Wow guys what AWESOME comments - thank you SO MUCH - your words are propelling me to do more and more.

I agree it does look more like a graveyard, but I think I know a place where they go to die, so might find that for later in the month - GRIN!

I found the post processing more challenging than most because when I got to the sharpening the bars on the trolleys looked really unnatural (not the right word - maybe I mean extreme) - even with the most understated of sharpening.

I'd like to reshoot the image in different lighting conditions.

I really like the lighting, with the one out front spotlighted. It looks to me a bit like a military line up for inspection, with the single cart out front being the inspector.
Sometimes the most mundane looking things make the most engaging images by holding a view long enough for us to interact with it instead of it just slipping by in a half second on a busy day.

Good eye and awesome shot! I love the spotlight effect too. I would like to see everything a little bit brighter. Maybe something you can try on your next editing pass.

Tee hee. This looks like something Melethia would notice as a work of art. It works. And I'm so impressed with people that see something like this and see a cool photo in it! It really is too :)

I like it! Interesting lighting, almost looks like the one is under a spotlight; but are you sure it's the retirement village and not the graveyard? :P
