Desolation

This certainly gives the impression of desolation, even if what we're looking at is perfectly innocuous. Dramatic clouds amd excellent contrast and lighting. [8]

Foggy Morn

Comment:
This looks remote, tranquil, slightly eerie and very beautiful - but not particularly desolate. Very moody and nicely taken shot.

Love this. Stylish (if a little staged) and well taken. It's a fun take on an otherwise quite gloomy subject. Know how that feels too! A pure, smooth, white room with no edges would have been perfect but I'm sure that a coved flooring photo studio wasn't at hand for this! [7]

Focus should be on the moon. I see what you're getting at but the impact is lost.

"We Do Not Have School Anymore, Mama"

Destruction maybe but not desolation for me. Shot is a bit gloomy and could have been better lit with a little fill-flash, or adjusting the exposure settings.

WWII

Comment:
Interesting take on the challenge and very thought-evoking. Not typical of desolation perception - but instead I think of the desolation that led to this monument's existence. I'd rather have seen more of the name list which would have given more impact as to the scale of the cause - filling the frame would have been good. [7]

Stylish contrast maybe, but not desolate. Nice abstract though.

Unfortunately, this guy looks quite cool really though a bit sad. It really needs some context to show why he may be desolate. A very good study with good lighting and tones. Focus could have been a touch sharper.

Funny title. Not so funny result! Nice shot with good contrast and composition. Are they pines though?
