Lamy is less than 40 miles from where I live, do you actually live in Lamy?
Nice shot!

Lovely shot with a distinctly "local" feel to it. Nice take on the challenge!

Lovely! Such a cute shot and well composed too. Both subjects look really natural.

Excellent shot. You've used the silhouettes and high contrast to create an excellent mood that sets this photo apart. Very nice crop and composition. 9

Hello from the Critique Club.

I am having some trouble trying to figure out what your shot is supposed to be. It looks like maybe the opening from the back of a building looking to the inside and a door at the other end with the sign? The sign is very hard to read.

The black and white seems to work well with the metals and textures of the shot. I'm not sure I would have left the portion on the left visable (is it a reflection?) It doesn't seem to add anything to the composition and it detracts from the main focus, in my opinion.

Overall, I think the difficulty in figuring out the subject and straining to read the sign take away from the interest of the shot. Since the sign is hard to read anyway, perhaps pulling back a little to get the perspective from a bit of a distance might help.

I like the fact that it is different from other window shots.

I hope this is helpful and good luck in the challenges!

The background is a bit too busy, but apart from that it's a nice subject.

Interesting shot, possibly a little too arty for the DPC crowd. It's hard to tell whether the blown highlights are accidental, or part of the photographer's style here. The crop is unusual, again it's difficult to know if the tip of the shoe on the left has been deliberately cropped or not.The composition is certainly unusual, the shoes cut the frame in two (top and bottom) which doesn't normally work well. I think it works well here however. I think that this shot can only really work as part of a series with other similar shots, but here I will give it an above average score.

Nicely done. I would have prefered both shot fronts to be completely in view but, it doesn't detract from the image that much for me. I like this nonetheless
