Ok - Lets do some commenting. I gave this shot a 5. This was a tough challenge to vote in. While I think you dodged a main subject here teh pic left me with a feeling of "ok". Nice and clean but not a strong impact for me. But your 6+ score tells me you connected with others better than with me. Good focus and nice colors and nothing really to nit pick overall. Just no wow factor, which I guess is the dilemma since if you had an aspect that gave it wow then you may have had a subject. I dont know - just rambling now I guess.

Trading post...
I should have guessed this was yours. I gave this an 8 in voting. Very nicely done! You are doing so well with this great style of yours! The lighting is fantastic, the peeling walls give such character. I have to confess that I didn't know that was a window.

I love the composition of this photo as well as the fine detail (especially the deteriorating stucco). I had trouble with this challenge, because other than an abstract nearly everything has a "subject" it seems to me. Your image manages to skirt the issue by placement of the bench and window and the central emphasis on the wall. Great score.

Nice finish Deb! For a very deserving photo. I love your style -- the way you turn ordinary things into works of art! Beautifully done.
