All that's left of the Long Beach, Mississippi, Waffle House.

Last Call?. .. I like it. I'm wondering what the rest of the tree might look like in the shot.

That's a great shot for the context. I love the color and the elements - except the tree branches at the upper right corner, not sure if it adds to the picture.

Yeah. I hear you all on that. The tree should go for sure.

Post storm? A sad occurrence but a truly beautifully composed image.

great pic, your composition(to me at least, don't ask why) sure makes the booth seats of a WaHo look much more inviting than they typically are, lol!

hi
nice shot, though when i imagined the shot without the tree branches on the top right and without the clutter in the background i thought it looked better.

poignant because of the story behind it. Purely on technical terms, it needs more contrast.

Me too, Asad. Unfortunately, the cops were eyeing me up, and considering I was trespassing ...

Interesting possibilities, my gues is that if you took 100 shots, this wouldn't be your first choice. Cropping could help. Score 7/10 (from the Score Me!

what are all these bogus scores on the picture?! 7 out of 10?! how about a 25 MILLION out of 10. That's my home and I'd appreciate it if you didn't call the aftermath of Katrina "clutter and debris." That's all that's left of what I USED to call home. So shove it! This picture is PERFECT.

the waffle house was one of the first places to be rebuilt, so at least it's not still looking like that down there!
