Love the subject.
Pity the bridge takes your eye out of the shot.

The overcast seems to fit this decay. I like the reflection.

Great color and textures. Horizon is tilted to the left and distracting to the eye.

I love this. I don't feel that technically it meets the challenge description of urban, but I think the image as a whole conveys the theme well enough that the urban thing is over-ridden by its terrific imagery......8

Very sharp and great colors. I imagine some voters will ding you for not shooting in an urban locale. No vote, I'm in this one.

Very interesting subject and lighting. The crop is a little awkward to me and I'm getting an umbalanced feeling looking at it. I love the warm earth tones in the old boat and the grass along the shore. It would have been great (although perhaps not possible) if you could have isolated one aspect of the slow death.

gorgeous colours. That bridge looks familiar, Was this taken in or around Hartland, New Brunswick? 7
