Geology - ahh. Plenty of desolation done by geologists worldwide - openstrip mines, tailings pits, mine run-off, red rivers here and there. Rust, mud and blood. I worked for several years in tin mines in the United Kingdom.

A landscape of desolation - I will subscribe to that concept. Well captured.

The colours and background make this image. I like the fuzz effect. Your title is really rather good as well. Nice work, in total. Good luck!

Reminiscent also of prison camps the world over in various of the last century's wars. Creative license with the title might help. I think it is nicely processed the the tones work well.

Desolation

This is an eye-catching image. The rust red of the iron oxides on the dessicated lake? bed stand out. The two twigs are rather an oddity. If you had a couple of fish skeletons (not too white) or some such more subtle prop, the photo would have worked a little better to captivate the viewer's attention. An ant walking across this land of canyons would have done the job too.

NIce interpretation and symbolism in your photo. The tones used and the dead, dry texture imply desolation. Understated but powerful.

That's quite a story going on there.

The steely, silver sky is very nice on my monitor. The silver, bleached wood also stands out very well. This bare-bones image makes a statement and does imply desolation. Well done.

Dust Bowl

INteresting without doubt. But the position of the protagonist within the frame is a bit odd. I expect you had very valid reasons for it being that way though - perhaps there was a Macdonalds restaurant just to the right ;-)

Nice interpretation. The location and pose fit the billing.
