I like it too... Processing transforms it into a timeless image.

I don't know if Dee's might possibly be/have been a local chain, but it certainly juxtaposes the independent restaurants of old against the ubiquitous, international fast-food joints of the present. As others have commented, the processing really works for the image.

Sorry, Chuck, but I just don't get it. There's a Dee's restaurant sign with an Arby's on the other side of the street. Dee's presumably is behind us. Maybe you were trying to do a Friedlander, but Lee's stuff usually had a point. I guess I'm just missing the point in this one.

Russ, no point or statement to be made. Just an interesting urban landscape that caught my eye.

What I take from this pic is the possibility that Dee's may no longer exist aside from the sign.

The fact that Dee's only shows the sign while Arby's shows its building provides the desired ambiguity, IMHO.

Sorry, I don't "see it" either. I think Russ's critique is on point.

Can you reshoot it so Dees is right of the building the Dees sign is a shape on a shape very distracting. I would move to the left to separate the objects or cross the street and shoot from the other side.

Yeah, I'd go back and do some more "takes."
