Lovely like silk fabric

glad Jo was able to see the same look in their face that had me decide this one went into abandoned, while my vintage shot went there...i figured this wouldn't do well in either, what with the woman in white as CEJ pointed out, and the crop looked bad to me when she was removed...

i really did feel that these men had a look of defeated/abandonment in their faces...anyways, 2 images left from that day left to finish scoring ;)

Hmmm ... just a wee bit title dependent wouldn't you say?

For some, the war has never ended. ;-) It's a good solid image with interesting elements. Not sure why no comments. Maybe processing is not quite vintage enough? I dunno.

Without the title... this looks like a "team"... nothing "abandoned".

*trying* would mean it required explanation, It is fairly straightforward and was received without requests for context by anybody, so i would say it succeded.
As for putting more time into it, there was not really much point as it succeeded in its intended purpose exactly as it existed, not everybody sees the need to change things into something they were not intended to be for the sake of other people. :)
