I get the desolation in this shot and I like it, but somehow the composition is a bit strange. I wish the drawing that gives the picture its title were clearer.

Cute photo. And very resourceful of grandpa to install a jail for when he needs to babysit! The white foreground and background keep the overall tone of the photo light and helps the viewer realize that humor is the intent here. The red dress contrasts nicely with the girl's skin tones and the copper bars. The texture of the wall helps distinguish foreground from background and so adds depth to the image. Nicely done; very creative and my favorite entry to this challenge.

I can see that this seems to be an abandoned house but am not sure about why this particular scene has been selected other than that sweet kid's paining left behind.
I think a different viewpoint may have resulted in an image which was stronger overall.

The picture on the wall adds so much to the desolation here. Great job.

Nice clear detailed pic, everything is focused and sharp. The slight motion blur on the girl's hand is an added extra. Just wish you hadn't cropped off her finger tho.
