Mama says no candy from strangers

I struggled with this on a couple others- is it on the inside looking out (as the child is) or is it us, the viewer, who is on the outside looking in? I have decided it is both. A well executed image.

I like your entry and hope it does well. One thing that bothers me is the amount of detail in the windows. It's a beautiful piece of architecture but it dwarfs your subject. My eye is drawn to the top window and not the young girl. Because this is a portrait, I'd crop more off the top and maybe just leave the small windows above the door. Either way it's a nice shot. Good luck!

We can't truly appreciate this one with the dimensions allowed. I'd like to see more of the child and less of the surroundings. :)

Tonemapping is very effective at emphasizing the signs of age here. I'd have smoothed out the speckling in the sky, I think. It looks odd to me.

Not voting here, but this one catches my eye. The post-processing is certainly extreme and dramatic, not sure if this couldn't have been just as good, or better with less tweaking, though.

I really like the editing and it is a very interesting photo with a lot to look at. But I am missing the "window shopping" aspect. Would have scored this one higher in a free study, it is very interesting. Just not right for this challenge in my opinionn 5
