 This is an old fire alarm-type box that I stumbled across while walking. I cropped the photo and changed the saturation. I interpret this as stationery as it is an object that has obviously been there for years and although it is no longer functional no one has removed it. It remains where it is, untouched, unmoving.

This is an interesting image for this challenge. It shouts stationary in two different ways, by looking like it has never been used and by looking like it is inoperable. The faded red color adds to both interpretations. What is really hurting this image is the pole on the righthand side. The white and red paint looks newer than the fire alarm and really draws my eye.

I would have liked the entire box to be in focus

Nice idea, but lacking in colour composition.
Needs more contrast, and would possibly also benefit from being shot at sunrise or sunset.
Good luck!

Some curves adjustment may help this really stand out :)

Good picture - lacks a bit of sharpness though.
