Thanks everyone!!! I now have Post Processing instructor so hopefully some elements of my poor attempts at photography will improve.

Steve,
The title resonates very much with the nowadays reality of our dream. Your photos tell a true story. The last one is brilliant. and scary.

The second one is so simply effective. I'm with Nihat - the third is scary.

See, a natural eye for composition and content. What can I add that hasn't already been said?!
The building element with the new(ish) buildings behind - brilliant.
The eerie grey rectangle placed in the centre of the frame with that diagonal of the plants - inspired.
The loan advert - a stark and scary statement on gun ownership and big business.
I love this stuff.

Taking photography completely out of the equation for a minute ...
You obviously know what you are doing/trying to achieve with the content of the photos and the combination in which you present them and title them. Then add back ino the equation that your only shortcoming with your photography is a lack of confidence - that in fact doesn't impact on the outcome ... I dunno Steve, you make me want to shake you be the shoulders until you realise how capable you are ... But maybe that would ruin your work ... Dunno!
one way or another, keep up the good work! I Avnet been around much lately but I actively seek out your posts for these sorts of images!

That third photograph is just something else. I just dread to think what it is that goes through the minds of the people that would be receptive to that advert. Then when you think about what meanings the stark brick wall, boarded windows and bars give, great!
