Ruins - Photography Contest [42 entries]

Duffus Castle Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
70.9%
Contest goal:

Show us a shot of a building that is now just a photo opportunity. It can't be lived in and must be showing as falling apart. Ruins are the remains of human-made architecture: structures that were once complete, as time went by, have fallen into a state of partial or complete disrepair, due to lack of maintenance or deliberate acts of destruction. Natural disaster, war and depopulation are the most common root causes, with many structures becoming progressively derelict over time due to long-term weathering and scavenging.


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!
