Taken on a new development near to my home. What was once fields is now one big building site. Already, this pond is filling with rubbish.

Very little done to the image, auto-levels in PS plus slight curves adjustment, that's all.

Thanks for the comments, always appreciated!

I was a little disappointed with the results from this challenge. I thought this picture covered the challenge very well, especially the artistic side as I can see an almost watercolour quality to the reflection. It was handheld at 1/40th second which did impact the general sharpness, I agree. Tripod was in the car too!

The construction element was not strong enough in some voters minds which I can accept, but looking through the entries, these voters must have given some very low scores for a lot of other entries as I thought there were a lot of pictures with less of a construction feel about them. Anyway, thanks for your time and I hope you did well in the challenge.

Nice reflection, but it isn't strong enough to depict a good representation of the construction aspect of the challenge.

Nice message to this shot...if not for the title, I'm sorry to say, I probably would have missed it.

Woah! Crazy title, and extremely good perspective on an issue that is clearly pertinant in this construction zone. I gave this shot a 9 if nothing else for your great connotations behind the title.

I like the idea and the title. The top of the picture is unsharp and a bit confusing.
