It's a tough shot because it doesn't immediately ring as "failure". It's much more subtle and that doesn't always convey to the average voter who spends less than 5 seconds on each shot.

Overall the picture is sharp and the composition is reasonable. The lighting is flat and the colors are muted however. The colors may help with the failure feeling, but flat lighting like this probably hinders the picture. Either convert to B&W or boost the contrast, I think. I'd have to see it done to see if it helps.

This is a bit too busy with too many distractions. I do get a sense of failure, but the vegetation on either side of the frame is distracting and competes for attention with the subject.
