Interesting idea. The exposure is a little too dark for my preferences and that shadow on the lefthand side distracts from the main subject.

This is an excellent and emotional portrayal of desolation. Nice contrast between the bare walls in the top half and the busy photos in the bottom half. The lines in the floor, baseboards, and corner lead the eye to the subject, whose posture is great for this image. You've controlled the depth of field perfectly; the person is in focus and the photos are blurred just enough to be recognizable without them being too distracting.

Great idea and nice composition with the heaviness of the images below and the clean wall above. Overall somewhat dark for my preferences.

Very nice concept and execution. I really think this is a good take on the challenge. I think the cigarette in her hand actually takes away from the feeling of despair though, but that could just be me.

What's she holding? A cigarette or crack pipe? Not sure I like it there. This shot may have more impact with the photos in focus with a real shallow depth of field and the chick out of focus.... drives attention on the memories and not the chick. Just a thought... (7)
