I am not sure why this caught your attention but I am afraid to me it is a picture of a mucky looking wall....just my opinion:-)

There's nothing interesting about this photo, other than the colors might be close?

I knew a lot of people wouldn't appreciate this one. It got an 8 from me, however. I don't have any deep, thoughtful interpretation of it, it just grabbed my attention in a unique way.

This is good. A photo that makes me think. When voting, my interpretation was about the grime of the city and that this window could represent any city - not just the one you shot. You are deep man, way deep :D

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Brave blurriness, brave greyness too. It's like you've actually tried to make an anti-picture here. Reduce the scene to such banality that the drip marks on the glass become (by virtue of being removed from the banality of the city) the most interesting thing to gaze upon.

Critical stuff really: It is hard to 'like' the image - though I'm not sure we are supposed too.

Overall: In the conventional world, the photo becomes our guide, showing us a point of view and a way of viewing - it pulls out aspects of the world, frames them and makes them explicit and special. You've done the opposite here - "Don't look at the world"; "avert you gaze"; "It's not worth your attention".... An 'anti-picture'. Bold and thought-provoking.

Very, very good. Juxtaposed verticals of streaked glass and city structure, and restrained tones: the wilful lack of definition brings more rather than less voice to the image, as is so often the case. Thank you.
