Stairsby MCCullenComment: Greetings from Critique Club
This is a beautiful photo, truly beautiful. I just love the seemingly endless play of diagonals, thing and shadow, darkness and light, the confusion of perspective, the impossible height. You've created a stairway to heaven here.
So as they've said, make the picture bigger next time! resize the largest dimension to 640 pixels (sometimes 720, depending on the challenge).
Just based on this photo, I sincerely hope you come back for more challenges. |

Forest Dreamby cpanaiotiComment: very nice bokeh and a "safe" but passable composition. I gave this a 5 because I didn't stay on it long enough to notice how nice the bokeh was. |

Realityby cpanaiotiComment: The most wonderful thing about this photo is that it is a picture of windows reflected in windows. Fantastic!
I'm impressed that nobody told you to unskew the perspective, or whatever the term is. The diagonals actually add interest, imho. I also like that we see a roof reflected in the bottom and another roofline at the top, all still within the windows. It gives the effect of different levels, like Dante's hell (and because there is another building behind it, we never reach the sky. that's important to the esthetic of this image). Also interesting are the variations of the distortion in each window's reflection.
I like this picture more the more I look at it. It doesn't grab right away (because I've seen so many urban window reflection shots), but it does reward a longer view. Thank you! |

Day 13by mia67Comment: this would get hurt in a challenge because the sharpest focus seems to be on his ear. but it works perfectly, there's a strange poignance to seeing his face slowly become less focused as we move from eye to nose. This same shallow DOF serves to accentuate a particular section of the window. I feel like my attention is being brought to the same part of the window that he is looking at, but of course he is looking through the window, not at it, so I have this strange, limited perspective on his experience... just like the viewer always does when he is looking at the subject of a photograph. Some photographers work very hard to make us forget that limitation, while other photographers force us to remember it. You are in the latter category with this photo, the category that I prefer. I don't like being lulled. I recommend as inspiration bucket, another example of the latter category, who reminds us of our limitations by playing with shadows, light and composition. |
