OK, here you go. I liked this one quite a bit though the girl's outfit and ponytails make her too cheery for the topic. Great job capturing natural color - the girl's shirt, brick, peeling paint, wall. I also like the textures - metal, wood, brick. The cropping seems a little tight at top and at right, to me. What I like most about this is the "layered" effect that draws my eye through the doorway, into the room, and through the window to the boards. You've captured a lot here without it being too busy or distracting. Hope this helps. I'm no pro.

Nice pic, but I don't feel a sense of desolation here. I feel more of a sense of being reborn or of potentially being brought back to usefullness. Maybe with an older model the feeling would have been darker. Still a very nice shot.

Better than saying "empty room", try to really show that empty room in the picture.

I always want to be able to step in and explore
the girl is too well cared for to speak of desolation

the vigor and the healthy looks of the young girl drowns out any sense of desolation in the rooms. Actually conveys hope more than desolation. Great shot, good luck!

Would have been more effective in black and white. I like it
