Taken on a cold, frosty afternoon.

It's quite a nice shot, but there is no life in it to my eye. I'm quite open minded about these challenges, and I dig your creativity, but it doesn't really work for me.
Much detritus of human life and some hardy vegetation. It feels very busy and I'm not sure if the point is that people are inconsiderate of the environment or that some plants can grow in unfriendly places or something else entirely.
