I really liked the composition of this image with the functional brick block of flats set behind the wooden seaside huts. I think that this image would be improved with a slight perspective adjustment as the block of flats is slightly off centre and that doesn't feel intentional. This could easily be resolved in the edit. Overall a good entry.
I was drawn to this image as I thought that is was powerful subject choice for the brief. The worn, abandoned gas station and empty surroundings emphasise desolation. The photographer has used a blue hue and drained saturation in the the image to capture the decay of this once functional structure. I also thought that the decision to the white edge frames the picture well. Well done.
I was immediately drawn to this image as I felt that the red lighthouse was a striking focal point against the energy of the sea and sky. The clouds give a soft texture against the waves of the water and this I felt was a thoughtful choice of composition. I thought this fit the brief well in its originality, evoking a sense of solitude and resilience for this functional structure. A worthy winner, well done :)

Exploring the interest we can find in buildings that many would call boring, but others might say are merely understated, more focussed on function than form, and probably a lot more economical to build.
