not feeling the abandonment here. also the cats feel very flat and one dimensional.

great depth and tone to this image. i can see the horror movie bad guy lurking in the background and the blonde cheerleader peeking her head out to see if things are safe to make a run for it.

interesting view and great comment on society's abandonment of previous staples in whole.

cute, but overall "snap shot"-y and lacking in real feelings of abandonment

not a big fan of the framing on this, though i'm probably in the minority. i'd like to have seen this slightly closer with a wider angle lens.
the foreground looks too clean and polished to fit in with the boarded up building.

poor little guy, he almost got lost in this photo as well.

great focus here on the little girl. the enveloping shadows are a nice touch to the overall feel here. positioning is spot-on, i expect this to place well.

one of the best 'abandoned person' images i've seen so far - the location, body language and minimal covering add to the fact this person seemingly has nothing in her life. the one eye showing on the tattoo looks like a young animal pleading for help, which only adds to this as it gives me a feeling that deep down she's crying for help but on the surface only a fraction of that would show through, and would quickly be covered by a facade.
i'd hope to see this in the top 10 but fear it may be lost on many looking for pretty pictures.

given the proximity to houses i find this to be more of a pile of tires instead of something abandoned. i'm willing to bet that the residents of those houses pay attention to make sure nothing bad is happening around that pile as it would potentially impact their safety.
doesn't have the same feeling of abandonment in my opinion.
