this shot really points out the problem with these challenges..there is no way it doesn't effectively convey desolation as well as a misty ocean, and yet look at the score difference...well thought out, and well done!

Great sky for this scene and that black area really does look like it is taking over.

Cars, concrete, and roads are a sort of desolation in my opinion. This deserted car park also works to evoke that feeling.

I like the points of interest and different levels of action going on in this.

My first impression of this photo is that it is very busy. Too much to look at with my eyes not really finding a main resting point. Not YOUR fault, just maybe not my choice of subjects.
The distortion only adds to the confusion in my opinion as well. It almost smooshes the photo toward the center, making for a smaller area for all the factors of the photo.
Focus and clarity are great. I think you did a great job getting nice crisp lines and sharp edges.'
Color is also good. Nice blues, yellows and reds, without going overboard and oversaturating.
I think going with the vertical crop was a good choice here as well.
You scored well, and I think that was on technical aspects. In my personal opinion, the reason it did not score even higher was simply on visual appeal. The chaos hurts it a bit for me.
Overall though, a technically good shot.

I guess those pipes are for hamsters that may live in the building. :)

I love the design, and you have a great perspective and good focus throughout. Great shot.

Is it the distortion from the lens or does the building look like that?

Is the building on the left underconstruction? I wonder why there is no ceiling or floors in it?
