Am noting a metaphor between people or businesses abandoning a building and the spirit (anima) abandoning a building.
Found this poor coyote dead in her/his tracks yesterday while biking through a forest preserve, perhaps poisoned by a nearby town dweller who feared for their pets. Went back this morning to get the picture.

I am astounded that this is last place out of almost 500 entries. I really expected the brown ribbon to be a ridiculous picture, but I think this one would be justified in being in, say, the top 20%.
I don't particularly care for pictures of dead animals but I have not scored this low for that reason. There is no building, as such it doesn't meet the challenge at all.
If the topic had been "Abandoned Homes", I could understand this. Buildings is a bit more precise, though, and although it is a good photograph, it is off-topic.
Unusual take on this challenge. That aside, it's hard to make out much detail on this picture. The subject blends into the grass. Perhaps increasing the contrast would help.
I understand the idea but for me it wasn't the best way to express the challenge. I am increasing my original vote though becuase technically it is a well photographed image.
is this you bear?.. outside of the box is OK but I think it help if the box is atleast somewhere in sight... This is a bit of a streatch for me as far as abondoned buildings go..
Took me a sec. to understand the point of the photo and I doubt you ill score very hi in this challenge but most definiately a unique perspective on this challenge. Excellent clarity and contrast and love the B&W conversion. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <9> My highest scoring photo yet. congrats.
I understand that you're thinking out of the box, but I think maybe this is a little too far out of the box. On the plus side, the composition is good, lighting ok, clarity fantastic. Is this a fox or a dog? Bumping up to 4.
I get it but I don't think many will...sometimes being different can be like shooting yourself in the foot depending on your peers. I do wish I could see the entire ear though.
The word 'building' can only be used to describe a body in badly written poetry and in some religious tracts and even those specifically refer to a 'temple'.
What is that... I mean, it's a nice photo technically (nice value, range of whites and blacks) but I can't even tell what it is. Some kind of dead animal... A wolf?
That's a really sad picture but an interresting take on the subject. I suspect it will do poorly in the contest because of the nature of the shot, which is too bad. I like the fact that it is cropped closely, it makes it more "intimate".
Poor little thing, I wondered what happened to it?
