Last shot on the trench

I'm sure the area was bleak and lacking much in the way of life, but maybe a hue shift on the yellow channel with a slight increase in sauration and a drop in brightness would give this a richer, deeper feel to it.

I'm finding myself leaning en petit peu just looking at it.

Very unusual building you captured here and can't help but to wonder if it really appears that crooked. Shame it's an open challenge and you couldn't clone out/burn the lights on the building to the left.

Between the image and the title, you have presented a very sad story here.
I'm not sure if all the small branches help of hurt this shot, but the over-exposed/high contrast areas of the branches and house do. This appears to be a shot that holds a special meaning and know there is only so much that can be done in an open challlenge in the way of fixing it.

Good use of natural framing.
I can't quite put my finger on it and maybe it's neat image that was used? The boards on the one building have an odd texture (plastic-like), a lot of detail is missing in the grass area and I see banding in the sky (also another "signature" of neat image getting aggresive.
Well seen and meets the challenge.

Well seen.
Has the look of a Post-Apocolyptic wasteland. Shame.
Good choice with the tone used.

I'm torn on this one.
Some of it I don't like (harshness of the post-processing) and yet enjoy studying it. It's a busy shot with a lot of little details that weren't lost in the shadows.
Well seen (6)

Usually an image grabs my attention, but with this one, the title grabbed me.
Quite poetic.
Nice detail & compoosition and nice job on presenting a sharp image without over-sharpening. The blue in the sky is a bit noisy (grainy) but oh well - such is life in the land of compreesion.

Well seen.
i had to study this one for a while to really see all the differences in the rocks/texture.
A bit on the bright side and jut a "hair" oversharpened as seen in the halo effect on the power wires, which is really not hard to do.
Not quite understanding what the meaning of the title is though - saving on hydro (water) ?

Well seen. Run down and overgrown.
Foreground foliage is a bit soft and lacking detail and overall the shot may have looked a little better had it been shot at a slight angle so the main focal point wasn't dead center.

...why not catch it on fire?

Nice artistic interpretation on this challenge.
There is beauty in what society calls an eyesore.

Unusual title too.
