Sanitized arty desolation. I say this after seeing a couple - and there are very, very few photos in this challenge which either depict or evoke sights or feelings of desolation. A chained dog in a bad way, a girl pining for a dead mother - these are real heart-rending images of desolation which evoke feeling. So you can understand why I say your image is sanitized. But it is still an excellent photo very pleasing to look at. 8.

This is a gorgeous shot. That barbed wire is a perfect frame for a desolate landscape. Can't imagine why the boot is there, other than to add some interest (and it does add interest :-) I really love the b&w conversion and treatment you've done.

I usually hate long titles, but that cracks me up GREAT composition and off centering. This is wonderful. Thanks for the chuckle and visual eye candy, pardner.

Nice job. It is one of the few that was able to embrace the idea of using the negative AND rembered things like composition and contrast. I believe your is the best image in the challenge.
