This is a metal souvenir building (3 X 2 inches by 2.5 inches high) placed in a sand trap on a golf course near by. Rest is just levels, curves, and PS Unsharp.

This is very interesting use of negative space. (I know that's not what this particular challenge is about, but this photo does happen to display effective use of negative space.) The little house certainly looks isolated, but I'm not sure that it also looks desolate.
Excellent entry. A key ingrident to a desolation image, in my opinion, is to have a lone subject that is dwarfed by its surroundings with a sense of depth and unendingness. This does it all. Your exposure is great, too. You've kept good detail in the shadows and kept some detail in the "sand?" towards the top. Is this a real landscape or a model?
Interesting shot, very effective. Just a couple of things bother me... the composition seems a little off to me... the house is too near the corner for my taste.
The light tones are very effective, but they're just a tad too blown out in the top left. These are fairly small things that bother me though. 8
