An attempt at something different, bt in my opinion, you have not managed to pull it off...........

Yes............Balanced, works.....not sure on the border, and some additional grass could have helped a little on balance.........

Parked and Forgotten

Comment:
Great subject, but the crop is too close for me........everything is too close to the edge, without a need to be, and without emphasizing anything for me either

Pink Car

Comment:
Contrast, colour, it works........The colour alone in this image makes it stand out past many others. The snow really works here, and is perfect for the image.....great when nature works. A different crop maybe could have improved this......it seems a little too centred in the frame for me.......

Parched
by CorySmith

Comment:
Very Parched, and the image does show a different type of rural decay.......for the message you have behind this, you get a good score from me. While most people sort out a falling down building, you (intentionally or otherwise) manage to tell a story, and make a statement. A different placement of the elements may have added additional effect, keeping the buildings to one side more and an expanding nothingness would have sold the message further. however, a great image that can have a story as well........

A Dying Craft

The subject here is very interesting, however I feel that a more interesting angle could have produced a better photo. The image here seems a little flat, with no depth to it. The tracks could have produced some interesting elements in this.........the crop is a little too close as well to make this work

Abandoned Skiff, Morris Island
by Bear_Music

Comment:
A brilliantly composed image. Great use of rule of thirds both in placement of the boat, and level of the water......Colours are great. Border is subtle but very effective. A great image

Windmills end and beggining

Comment:
The image is not sharp enough.......also, rules have changed that allows for 800px width.........overall composition also does not make for an interesting photo

The Forgotten Ones
by eye-spy

Comment:
An out of the Box image that struggles to meet the challenge and does not appeal visually..........Ice on the head does not add anything, elements in the background are distracting and the lighting too uneven to make this image work

The Shack

Comment:
A great subject chosen. However, I feel there is too much grass in front and not enough sky above. A more balanced composition would have made this photo work significantly better..........
