Hi Chris, a good idea to revisit last year's subject for Elegant and it's spot on for the theme. Very elegant lines of the the foot and ankle, and in the neatly tied tapes around the ankle. A slight shame about the lines in the pavement behind but if you weren't short of time you would have dealt with that, and the B&W toned PP works well to bring out the shapes.
Derelict - I'm not sure of the definition but it works for me and I like the inclusion of the people to add a sense of scale and show how huge the old structure is.
Home - what a great idea and it must have been a fascinating visit. Lots of texture in those old stones and you can see the layer of dried mud on the surfaces. I also like the colour contrast between the fresh green grass on the far side, above the mud and stones that would normally be underwater. It wouldn't be half as effective without that contrast
