Too hot for me and possibly too hot for them.
It was miserable hot out for me, and maybe for the people that once lived here also. Near Yakima Wa. Does it work for anyone, composition and black and white or just so so? Thanks, Cliff

It works for me composition-wise for sure. I like the left to right sweep of the car leading you towards the house. Not trivial to have gotten everything nice and sharp too!

The tumble weeds in the front seat and points of light coming through the shotgun holes make for really good story telling, as does the entire scene. This makes a great fine art and/or photo journalism piece. Very well done Cliff.

Oh, I think this is a very powerful image! Despair is the word that comes to mind.

The B&W makes it work. Reminds the viewer why the subject is important.
