If the reflection wasn't overexposed, this would be a 9 or 10. I like the dark silhouettes, but should have exposed the water correctly. 7

Inside Out
by stuart

Comment:
Because of the sunlight, I don't get a feeling of being inside anything. The lighting gives away that you were standing outside when you took this and looking in and then back out through the other window. The only problem is that you can't really see much out the other side. I like the pattern and shape you've chosen to photograph here. I just wish there was something more interesting on the other side.

Good use of negative space, too. I like the bubbles around him and the angle you took it at. I wish there was something else in the shot to provide context, but this is good work.

This is the kind of picture I was expecting for this challenge. With the exception of the line running straight through his face top to bottom, this is a great picture. 8

Matty's Field

Definitely gives the impression of looking out at something. I'm not sure the view is all that interesting, but it's a good picture.

Interesting use of desat, but I don't think it works here. There are too many artifacts of the desat along the wall and plant and sky - it looks like a hurried editing job instead of a smart color choice. This image has retained some of the overall redness, lessensing the effect of your edits. As far as the composition - it's very busy on the windowsill and the flowered thing and red birdfeeder(?) detract from the view...I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be admiring.

Through The Beer Monocle

I wish I could see more detail near the center and less around the edges - the 'main' subject of this picture is the bottle on the leflt side, I think. If this was meant to be abstract, you aren't close enough to the center. If its meant to have detail, there's not enough, especially top right.

Watching For Daddy

I would have cropped above the leg completely and taken quarter to half of the window out of the shot. I think it would present a much stronger composition that way. Also, the quality of the overall shot isn't bad, but there's too much grain.

It feels like we're on one side of something, looking to the other side. It doesn't feel like we're inside something looking out.

That said, it's an overall good picture. I like the square framing, though I wish there was more at the bottom. Nice duotone.

Recital

Comment:
Without the title and challenge, this is a good photo on its own, though the window is a bit too bright. The tones are overall very nicely done and the crop is good. I don't like the bed in the shot, as it takes away from the "recital."
