I think that in this case it would have benefited you more to have a person model in shabby clothes, preferably a child, standing in the doorway. Someone who innocently doesn't know any different between their life and yours. I think the monotone works, but maybe something with higher contrast. Just a thought.

I like your idea and composition, but the sepia just isn't working for me. It seems a little blown out which makes it lose some of the details

this looks like a very old photo, i like the feel of it.these houses make me wonder about the stories they hold.

almost fades away. Would like more contrast and definition. The black gaping door helps - but more of that would help.

I think this would have had more impact if the entire image was darker

Maybe I would have liked with more contrast, but nice anyway

I like the high key approach, perhaps I may have balanced it with more foreground. 5

There seems to be a confusion between Poverty and decay in this challenge, although related they are not the same.This is a great image and I like the presentation of it but for me it doesnt say poverty,.however I have taken a broad view of the subject and rated it reasonably high {for me}

This is great picture of some old buildings. What would make the connection even stronger to the challenge would be some evidence that there are people living here. Clothes on a clothes line, a person in the doorway, etc.

Has a great vintage or historical feel to it; excellent challenge entry. Good eye for composition within the frame, also.

Excellent shot, one of the best in the challenge IMO. If you ever get the opportunity to reshoot this, I think it would probably look great at night with startrails above it.

I like the over-exposed look to this picture. Reminds me of an old sepia photo that has faded over the years.

It looks over exposed, but was that intentional? 7
