Excellent concept and a very creative viewpoint. I think this meets your objectives very well indeed - showing the contrast between the urban blight and natural selling point for the area.

Good entry. I like the ghost effect, and the "message" of the picture. IMHO this should have ended up higher (but then, I'm probably letting my bias show - and as a former seamstress, I should know better than letting my bias show).

I like your 'statement', and while i see why needed to be 'faded' I wish was little less so was more visible image, still one of my favorites in this challenge.

I know what was being attempted here and it's a great idea, but it's just a little too faded.

It's hard to make out what the machine is. This is a good idea, but the rules in the challenge make this very hard to portray. Unfortunately, the outcome gives the appearance of a bad photo.

I don't get it....Where is the freedom that is fading??? What is the machinery that we are looking at??? This is a cool name, cool concept (fading away of our freedoms) but don't see freedom here because the subject is an unknown variable... If it was a typewriter or a gun or a bible (church, cross, insert religious symbol here) and all else was equal, 8 or more....this doesn't get that though.

Hope this helps.
