Greetings from the Critique Club
Hi Kavey!

Composition
I like the short amount of wall on the left. It doesn't compete with the main glass that way. The very tight crop is also nice.

Lighting
My one real bit of concern is the brightest part of the glass - the left side - is definitely blown out. If the glass pattern showed through there as well, the picture would be more complete and 'finished' feeling. It's not the first thing I noticed, but it's there.

Overall
The patterns are fantastic here. I really love the surreal painted quality to this. A great shot - probly would have been better with a "study" part of free study (if you'd had the memory and time to take a few more shots and explore the idea).

Kavey,

I really like this image, and you have captured the feeling of the moment perfectly. I agree with you on the shallow DOF, it draws your eye to the texture of the glass. I am not so sure about the B&W, but without seeing this in color, I can not be sure. I think the tight crop does the window justice, and just enough of the wall to give perspective to the image. Nicely done!

Bill, thanks for your comment. I must admit to being a fan of shallow depth of field but I know that many others prefer a wider depth of focus and it's useful to know how others find my DOF choices. Thanks for commenting, and to all who commented during the challenge. I did send thank you PMs that I hope everyone received OK.

Not in the CC, but I like this. Contrast was mentioned before as well done, and I agree. Perhaps a bit more DOF would give just a little extra sharp detail in both the panes and shadows on the wall?

Best

Very interesting image. Like the use of Black and White and high contrast.

Whoever you are you have the only good march photograph I have seen the rest look like they were made for post cards or don't have much to them. Thank you for the staying power of your image
