HI from the Critique Club. Here is the critique you requested. Please feel free to pm me with any questions or comments.

First let me say...This was one of my favorite photos in the window challenge. I think it is well done, interesting, and shows skillfull postprocessing. So, i dont have much in the way to offer from a critical standpoint but here goes...:)

Composition: As i may have mentioned during the voting, the crooked framing of the windows is appealing. Gives the picture a otherwordly look. I assume the building is crooked, and that it was not caused by camera angle. Great composition.

Lighting: LIghting is nice and the only nitpic here is just that the black shirt/jacket is totally devoid of detail. I think just a hint might have improved picture slightly. Very minor IMO. Lighting on the faces is perfect BTW.

Post processing is well thought out with my only suggestion to be a slight darkening of the door behind the man. it seems rather light considering it is the interior of a building. Would have given the picture an even more mysterious feel.

I dont think i can add anything else. This is a very cool pic, well planned and executed. Self Portrait?? Good job and congrats on your high finish.

Cheers,
mark

I thought this would score a little higher. I really liked the processing, the guy walking, and the dirty old buildings. I'm pretty square so might have suggesting cropping LH side to leave the brick pillars framing each side.
