Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. I love the picture within a picture shot for they make one think. I like this capture of the window that is outlined in stone. It makes me think that what is within the window is 'locked' away in a fortress. This closed window reflects the outside world with greenery and and open window on the building opposite. Window here is closed shutting off access to the open air, sights, and sounds of the world outside. This little cat seems to long to escape to see and feel the sights it sees from out it's 'fortress' window. You had a great eye to see the potential story that this could tell. I do have a critique (ah, man she has to get nitpicky now!) is those same reflections cause a slight problem. Mainly is that the cat is not as distinctly visible as it could be. Could you have changed the angle of the shot so that the reflections did not obscure the cat as much as they do here? Perhaps a lower angle or a slightly higher angle would have done the trick.

Ahh, more like what I like, almost like what Melethia would enter, and yes that is meant to be a complement of the highest order.

Well composed. The other windows in the window are nice.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Very well done. Nothing is over saturated, and hues are appropriate for the subject, and in this case the challenge.

Brightness and contrast: Nice clean white background. The details hold well throughout, with just a hint of burnout at the highlight at the upper middle of the head of garlic.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is razor sharp, and depth of field is excellent.

Composition: The centered composition works well here. To do a rule of thirds, would have resulted in an image that was done that way than for no other reason than the rule of thirds is one of the first things taught. The almost square format, works well here also.

Subjective: The (mildew?) stains on the garlic distract a bit. I like all the detail, yet at the same time the eye has a hard time figuring out a place in which to rest. I'm wondering how a little softer focus, or perhaps a bit of glow would have worked. Maybe even a little bit of revealed garlic clove down in the right side...

Overall a very well done image, that well deserves its place in the top 40.

Nice shot, great detail and textures as well as the capture of the reflection. I wish the cat was more visible, as it would give more intensity to the mood of the picture.

I almost missed the kitten! I LOVE how you can see the curtains swaying in the wind, in the bottom reflection. I love the kitty sitting there so curiously ... perhaps wanting to explore the unknown. 10 from me.

With different processing, I think this would score more highly.
