Once a garden now ...

This really portrays abandoned including the bared trees! However, I think it may take a creaming because of the lack of focus and detail in the main subject. I could be wrong and hope that I am!

The Tube Abandoned

Has a deeper meaning and well portrayed. Everything but the tv and a few blades of grass and pebbles in the foreground is in focus. I'm sure that the scoring will be good on this one. It will all depend upon the "literalists" and whether they can allow/permit the deeper thinking. Sometimes, I think that if it's not a pretty stock shot, no amount of meaning will make it do well. SIGH

LOL...do I WANT to know what's smeared on the front porch? *wink* I like the tunnel like effect to this shot. Simple and yet portrays the abandoned very well.

If it weren't for the title, I'd not have gotten the idea of "abandoned" being part of this shot. It seems more like a high altitude landscape.

ROFL!!! You know, I gave this a high score but, I was scratching my head because I couldn't put the "poverty" together with an ipod! I thought I was mistaken on what it really was.

Congrats on your ribbon! A shoehorn wins! LOL

This was a really MOVING shot! I am SO happy that it won a ribbon....first and foremost for your sake, but mostly because it may be one of the very few times that we will see an entry in here that doesn't necessarily have the "DPC, technical perfection, stock shot" look to it actually ribbon!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RIBBON AND YOUR TRIUMPH IN RIBBONING WITH A SHOT WITH TRUE MEANING...NOT JUST "THE LOOK"!!!!!

I had no clue this was yours but, I smiled because it looks like the mass of things that I've also accumlated! Nothing REAL, of course! LOL

I really like the assortment of shapes, colors as well as my fave part....the sparkles off of it all. Just call it Blingage! Nicely done! I really thought this one was heading for at least, the top 10. But, nice call on your score bet! .002 off. You be either psychic or psycho from DPC challenges, scores and comments! ;)
