SOUTHGATE VS. YUMA
PALMS On a Friday afternoon, dangerously close to Christmas 2007, the bigger, newer and more extravagant Yuma Palms Mall wins the shopping match against Southgate Mall, which used to be the only mall or 'small' in the Yuma Region.Top) The numerous shops in the food court area of the new mall are frequented by many this afternoon.
2nd from top) The old mall indoor shops are either gated or empty this same afternoon.
Middle) What used to be a busy toy store and bustling arcade near one of the entrances of the Southgate Mall are now a memory.
2nd from bottom) The Yuma Palms parking lot rarely has a vacancy.
Bottom) The barren parking lot of the old mall is a common sight since the opening of The Yuma Palms shopping mecca.

Kristi,
This is a good concept. I like the overall idea. Your execution could have been a little stronger. I think you got just a little redundant in some of the images and again, you're looking too much at a literal image.
The shot that bothers me the most is the JCPenney shot at Yuma Palms. The ideal thing to do (and it seems like you're trying to duck security) is to get close to those people's feet and shoot them with a slow shutter speed to indicate motion and frenzy.
All the shots are kind of wide to medium with a lot of backs of heads. You needed a little more variety.
