Would rather believe your story than this score and placing! This is so simple yet intriguing, the black bars add the Sci-Fi movie feel - perfect for the challenge.

I really like this! Love the play of light! Are the grocery carts ever going to evolve!!

i feel there's alot of wasted space in this shot. Closer up would have been good, then you would have wasted less space on the left and right sides of the frame. cool idea though.

Love the photo, the idea, the composition and the lighting. The only thing that hurts the photo in my opinion is that the cart seems out of focus. If it had of been sharper it think the photo would have been great.

Aliens don't have shopping trolleys? They have to fly across the galaxy to come and steal ours? I suppose that solves the grocery stores big mystery of where their trolleys are dissapearing to.

The focus seems a little soft and the trolley seems a tad overexposed.

This one really made me chuckle. Strong technically too.

fun image, nice concept, however the cart seems to have the wrong lighting. Direct lighting from above, would leave a shadow on the underside of the cart, I believe it would be strong enough to see better. and if that is how it looks, it should have been darked to create that dramatic single light feel. Also, the lamp post I believe also distracts from this image, maybe having a different angle or dimming that light would help.

Now this is getting somewhere. I like the lighting, I like the cart, but I hate the wasted space.....

Wait is that the same parking lot that Michael J drove the car in in Back to the Future? Nice work.
