1st place
Dereliction by JaiJoli

icedancer: A Big Congratulations on the win - this one was my favorite

Nikoneer: Sooooo many textures in here, and I do like how one of those hopper style windows is open in the distance, breaking up the flat planes a little. And yes, definitely one that fits the contest theme. bd Two thumbs up!

A Bit Worn Out by Vickid

w42w42: I am sure there is so much history and so many forgotten stories in that one picture. Who has walked through that door? Thanks for posting!

Ramad: In spite of the minor repairs and the new small gate one cannot but notice the dilapidated condition of the rest. I think this will make a good entry for the contest.

3rd place
Composition of Decomposition by gr8fulted

Nikoneer: That lower chimney that is tilting away from the structure appears to be a material printed with "bricks"... while everything else is in a massive state of dereliction, the edges of the chimney are arrow-straight, with no chipping, and the color of the bricks are consistent. If they were real, they could never be held up merely by a pair of 2x4's sticking out from the side of the house. Appearances tell me the rooftop chimney is made of the same material... tin, maybe? Whatever the case, the more modern additions--the chimneys and the No Trespassing and Private Property signs--don't remove any of the charm; they complement it. That gorgeous landscape behind it doesn't hurt, either.

4th place
Dereliction at Grove Rake Mine by Dunstickin

Ramad: It looks like a bomb blew up there. The details are clear and awful! Very good entry for the contest Bob.

Nikoneer: Holy Mackinoly, this isn't just dereliction, Bob, it's destruction on a large scale. Someone has obviously expended energy to destroy those fixtures on the right and from the condition of the floor I'd say the maid certainly hasn't been in all week. A great one for the contest.

Dilapidation by jerseygurl

rvdb: Congrats on your win Laura.

Starglow: Great example of something that has stood and weathered with time. Makes one wonder how they can stand that long and I guess some of them don't. Good entry.

GomekFlorida: It is sad to see so many of these classic structures start to decay. Yet that is the natural selection of things, which isn't bad, just the way it is. I am sure it has served its purpose for many years before reaching this state.
