I like the sideways orientation, and the lighting. There's not enough strength in the subject to make this really stand out for me though. Perhaps a more close-up so it's not washed out by the similar-toned sand background.

or you could title it, depression erra..... everthing went up in prices so now the people have abanded anything that has to do with shopping in public.
I like this, but the angle makes the subject seem somewhat confusing. I think it would be more interesting if you rotated it 90 degrees to the right. It would give a feeling that the cart is seeking. then again, we all have different perspectives.
