powerful - I would personally like it a bit brighter, more contrast but this image gives me something of the photographer not just a contrived "meet the challenge"
I think of desolation as motionless and this is very static

Too set up looking for me. Good idea though.

My favourite shot this challenge... although not the highest scoring. The composition doesn't quite work for me... I don't like the way the picture has been split in half vertically. Maybe the pictures should take up more of the frame? There's also a strange shadow on the left at the base of the wall.
However, this is a really clever concept... I love this take on desolation where you are alone in the present because you can't drag yourself out of the past. Definitely the most creative shot this challenge. I had toyed with the idea of taking a shot of someone in a corner, but without your concept it would have been very poor. I think it could have benefited from some sharpening. Effective lighting. Well done... 9

Great Subject. I would have used a little more light.

Very nice idea just the light is just to low for the photo and with the slower shutter speed you had a lot of blurring of the one hand.

As for meeting the challenge it is a bit weak but it does meet it with a little thought.

Nice idea - a little dark (at least on my monitor) ... maybe crop out half the dark space at the bottom
