This one needs to portray a little more of the damage than this. I can see where this one is trying to go (I think) and this just isn't putting a picture of destruction in my head like it should be.

Very interesting subjects but I feel that the subjects and and the background is too much alike and the background is extremely distracting. Perhaps some black coal/charcoal instead? Also, I do not like that pipe that is bloking alot of the 'bucket', which seems to be the main subject...

However, well done. Good try =)

Certainly is desolate. Perfect focus. Not too keen about (what appears to be) the flower pot in the center of the photo.
