truly deserving.  i actually struggled to not also include your empty theater seats from above (i used one finalist by person as a culling method, picking is hard so much great work 😀).  that was a great point of view.  but the shadow of the wheelchair just made it so much more "empty"

Many thanks for including one of mine. I’m honored. This was an inspired challenge with many fabulous photographs.

Great selection and very difficult to select the best one. 

Thanks for doing this.

have to say, you probably found the least graffiti-ed vandalised room in the whole world.

Well this was an empty medical office so it was locked and secured.  The new tenant let me in to take some photos in there before they built it out for their needs....another medical office.

The rest of the class room and school had some pretty disgusting graffiti all over the walls, i chose not to endorse it.😐

Ack, thought Meanderingemu was referring to my shot....should have read all that more carefully.

Good selection...also really liked BobD's empty boat.

😉  well your shot was also low on graffiti, something hard to find.   i found this lovely abandoned mini golf course yesterday, but had no way of getting on angle without them in back, so now have some PS work scheduled.

as i mentioned i had 20-25 images through the first go through,  then had to invent "culling rules" to get down to 8.  this was tougher than picking my best images to Alamy from a specific subject, i also struggled between criterias as i picked a subject that wasn't obvious in a Stock environment. 😉

Some brill images to pick from, and by the way thanks for choosing one of mine.

i loved how having one person ignoring the artist made it even more empty....

Oh dear....I am so sorry  - There was no criticism intended at all. I think you made great selection.

no worries,  it was actually fun.  i spent the last few days going through the process.  actually it put me in mind of a customers who had typed "empty" as KW, and got all these totally different results, and had to start thinking, "what did i mean by Empty?"

final day of voting..... thanks all who participated, this was a great experience to run for a month
