gives even more meaning to "the boring burbs" - wow - casualty of the banksters putting our economy in the ditch I take it. the frame is needed to tie it all in - just a tad heavy with it for me. toning is spot on. a great statement image. 7. gl

There's a poignant, just-missed quality to this image, which elicits a deep sigh. Seems to have run out of luck as much as financing. The heavy, lowering sky, suits the scene perfectly, the washed out coloration completing this enervating dream of never attaining your destination. The vignette nicely serves the appearance of a post card. Excellent.

These are fairly new homes! It would be very interesting to learn the story behind this haunting scene.

While I like what the toning had done to the structures and the land, the sky looks unworldly; however, this is an unworldly scene, so maybe it fits. Some may find the vignette disruptive, but I have the opinion it adds a "vintage" feel to a modern setting. I like the way the mud "street" pulls one's eye through the image.

Desperately sad situation - unfortunately, well suited for this challenge. Good choice.

What an odd scene to behold. Almost new looking homes with no paved street. Not fond of the very heavy boarder/vignette, but I love the image. 8
