This abandoned home was waiting for destruction for a new housing development. It caught my eye and I felt it must have a picture in it. When I got close to it I could smell that it had been unkempt while still being inhabited. It was filthy. I wondered if the poster was representative of the childs dreams, or if she was showing her love of family even with the swaller of the household. I sure wish I had a wide angle lens at times.

I got it, and gave it a 7. Very much implies Desolation to me not to mention that it was a difficult shot to expose correctly. Should have been much higher in the list IMHO.
This is one of the saddest shots I have seen. And your title is poignant. I think it will likely be overlooked on dpc but it certainly has 'something'. Good find.
I get the desolation in this shot and I like it, but somehow the composition is a bit strange. I wish the drawing that gives the picture its title were clearer.
I can see that this seems to be an abandoned house but am not sure about why this particular scene has been selected other than that sweet kid's paining left behind.
I think a different viewpoint may have resulted in an image which was stronger overall.

The kid drawing fills the emptiness to the photo. The dirty white walls create the feeling too. But I would try to avoid the floor in the near end room. It's distracting. Setting the camera lower and tilting up may help.
