Very gray and dull - and very appropriate, methinks. One generally doesn't associate scenes like this with peppy blue-sky days so your presentation fits perfectly!

Gotta love the sense that train tracks provide, even if they are overgrown with grass and weeds. The graffiti makes this, imo. Very nice.

I do like the composition, but there seems to be some unfortunate haloing and jaggies produced in the post-processing.

It meets the challenge well, but....no pizzazz.

Although this one doesn't leap to the top of the competition in this challenge, the yellow-brown weeds, gravel, and gritty sidewalk have an honest kind of artistic merit that I didn't get at first glance.

Nice lines, and the message is very adequate... the pic has an onimous feel that I like!

I like the composition and the enhancement you did to the colors of the ground. The image as a whole does not have much impact on me, though. It may be that the overcast day just left it flat.

Inteesting scene, well composed - but it would be worth trying out more subtle sharpening methods.

Good shot of the hidden city. Colours suit the style of the photo. Fulfilled the challenge.
