Nice look and feel. Shades and angles are great...nice uphill effect. Interesting facade feel wth the old items covered by new (is that a price tag? ;0 ) . Nice play-on-Dylan. This should make your mama proud.

Excellent shot. Wonderful clarity. I love that little toy in his back pocket. I wonder about the story behind that. The way the man is leaning his head on the broom, really shows emotion - sadness, hopelessness, desolation.
What a lovely portrait. In terms of composition I'd crop just a touch more at the left so he's sweeping into the frame. I like the black and white and his pose too as well as the textures of the wall.

Rarely do I see a photo that makes me feel things....this one does! How brilliant this is...capturing the very essence of desolation! Wonderful job!! :)
I suspect you'll have a tough time with this title. I wouldn't have recognized the reference if I hadn't done a google on desolation this afternoon and turned up several hits on the song. And, to be honest, even having read the lyrics, I'm not sure I get the link with this shot, but I don't really know the song that well, so maybe it's just me. The picture is OK, but I don't get a strong sense of desolation from it. Composition is decent, focus is good, B&W is OK but predictable.
The pinwheel in the back pocket is a wonderful touch. I hope this is someone you spotted on the street, but I'm sure it's posed. Either way, it's lovely.
