lol. Great idea. The whole picture seems to lack sharpness but I like the composition. Good job. Very different.

Nicely shot, the lighting works well for the pencil and shadow. The framing and composure is perfect.

Critique Club Review

Great Colors! The angle of the window against the lines of the blocks surrounding it, seems a bit off to me. Perhaps cropping closer to the window itself, or a more "head on" angle would help. About the only other thing I notice is that the focus on the window seems softer than the scene within.

It is hard to recommend much here, as this is already a very good photo.

Critique Club Assignment:

Initial: Good idea!

Composition: Placement of the objects is done well. Green attracts the eye, which is then led to the open box, and then down to the sign.

Technical: The background should be whiter.. perhaps better lighting and increasing the exposure value would be helpful if you have the ability to do that.

Overall: I like it, and personally scored it well because of the idea. Still, it would've scored higher if the technical aspects were tuned better. Great job! Look forward to more! ;0)

I would like to thank everyone for their comments. The way I made the above picture was; I took a new picture of my brothers bedroom window from outside. I then cut out the glass parts, and added the sunset photo (that I took a few months ago) as the layer under that. I then blurred the edges of the window panes to blend them with the sunset, so it didn't look as edited. I then darkened the bottom two panes in another layer to look like the screen, and added the fogging in yet another layer. I think the over all look is pleasing and what I wanted, but I wish I would have rotated the sunset slightly to align it better.

Thank you again for your helpful comments, I hope to learn from them and do better the next time. Cheers!
