this is actually selective desaturation. The road was desaturated and then tinted bluish. I also blended a b/w conversion on overlay to give a more dramatic flair to the image. Major crop.

Don doing selective desat?!? MUAHAHA! The one thing I don't like are the three brown elements at the top. They look to orderly. Either you happened across this and the brown things look like you placed it all very carefully (leading to an incorrect impression) or you DID place them very carefully (but of course you don't want us to know that in which case it betrays you).
I gotta say, i DO like this image even if it didn't feel quite on theme to me.
this should have ranked in the 5's (thinking 5.3-5.4ish) and as such "Deserves a Better Score"
This image doesn't strike me as abandoned. there's apparent plant growth here, which means the daisy could have grown here, and despite the fact it was destroyed, it wasn't left to it's own devices in order to try to make a life for itself.
