Abandoned Yuqui Indian Child--Cochabamba, Bolivia

I swear I had a dress just like that when I was growing up, and I loved it. I like the way she's peeking around the corner a bit. Without the title, though, it wouldn't have really represented abandonment to me. I don't think the pic reflects the mood of abandonment in a straightforward manner.

I like the gulls lined up above and the rusty state of teh Cofran Cadiz. I'd like to see a slightly wider crop? I think that including a little more background can enhance a feeling of abandonment.

Great colors! This pops. Love the cow in the front.

Seems a little flat. I would like it better if there was more of a distinction between the foreground/subject and the background.

Beautiful. Great mood. I've seen a lot of "abandoned barn/house/cottage/building" shots in this challenge, and this one is the first to really capture a mood. Well done.

I like the colors (or lack thereof) and the pattern of the bricks below her. Good setting. I'd like to see a version with her whole body included, I feel that a good facial expression could enhance the idea of being abandoned in this pic.

I saw a toilet on the side of the road yesterday! I considered stopping for a pic, but decided not to. Strange how much more common this is than I would have expected! That said, the lighting seems dull here, focus seems off, and nothing really pops. Certainly fits the challenge, but the technicals could use more attention.

Very dreamlike, sometimes I feel like I'm looking at the bottom of a wishing well, sometimes through a window, now to the bottom of a shallow, clear pond. And I'm not sure how, since there's not really a definite "abandoned" subject, but I think you captured the mood brilliantly.

Cool shot, different take on the challenge, I like it. I would prefer for the windows to all be equidistant from the edges; that is, there are no windows on the top edge but there are half windows on the bottom? I think that more symmetrical framing would enhance the pic.
