I think this would have made a fine entry for the Desolation challenge. A couple of things about the photo. The natural framing on the right seems to be the tree with the ladder against it so the darker area beyond it doesn't seem to fit with the picture especially since everything is so close to us but beyond the tree it is further away and in darker shadow. I would also like to see a little breathing room at the bottom of the photo, it seems to be cut quite close to the junk there.
On a side note I do like how even though you have the desolation theme we also see life springing up around it in the form of the young trees. |
