Me too, it has nothing to do with inside.

An appealing image that is assumed to meet the challenge

This lovely image is all about the lighting. I love the way the extreme low angle of the light highlights the edges of the ripples and creates these dark contrasting shadowed edges too, this together with generally low contrast image makes for an absorbing study. The intervening shapes all add to the end result too for an intriguing end result.

The diagonals of your composition complement the subject well.

The challenge brief sounds very open-ended so within the context of the challenge it works. Thanks for another interesting entry, Sid

The landscape view captured through the window is an excellent image in its own right but when seen as you have composed it from the inside here it raises it up another level. The interior itself whilst a little dark but authentic feels as though it has had a lot of processing, it seems to be lacking in the detailed roughness I would associate with the type of building it all looks much too smooth. I do like the gaps and the tatty structure in particular around the window.

The exposure is good with no blocked out shadows or highlights and your off-centre composition works so much better than a central one. Well done for finding and capturing this scene the way you have.

Congratulations on the HM your image works well in its alternative presentation of the landscape, well done, Sid

Wasn't that a wonderful spot? I wanted to live there!

Kind of begs for HDR in this challenge to reveal more interior.
