This picture has beautiful tones no doubt, but I am having a very hard time connecting it to the challenge. Even if you took this through a window, the picture itself is not telling me that.

Once Upon a Time

This is a gorgeous display. The subject matter is interesting, the complementary blues visually pleasing. Far and beyond for me are the snowflakes that frame the picture. This is my favorite so far in this challenge.

The title made me think more than the picture did, trying to figure out the connection between it and the photo.
You certainly captured the sheer overwhelming-ness of all of the signs both in the store and on the window. Everywhere I look, signs signs signs. I would have loved to see a human element in this, just to connect further with the viewer and add some impact. A "so what?" if you will. The shopping cart tempts me in that direction, but not quite enough.

If the angle of this shot could have been slightly different, I think it could have been a much more powerful shot. I feel like there really needs to be some space between the right foreground watch and the middle in focus one. If there was, there would be a nice sense of balance to the photo, as the two watches on the outsides work to frame the middle one and provide a sense of depth.
This way the middle watch just feels crowded. Just one of those images where all of the technicals are there, it just needs that small little push in composition to make it work.

Curves

What first struck me in this image was the complementing colors of the lamp shade and the walls. Then your title gave me further connection between the curves of each. The menorah acts as a nice random added interest. Unfortunately, it is not at all appealing to me to look out of the windows, and that goes for both the left and the right one, which makes it hard to vote this high, when the challenge meeting portion of the image is not very interesting.

Hmm, this is an interesting voting dilemma. It appears to meet the challenge with a store,window etc. My main problem is that point of main interest (the orange painting) is not within these bounds and therefore not really meeting the challenge for me. Still, the store does provide context for the painting, which is important.
Anyways, thats just me thinking to myself. I really like the color tones, where the painting is located in the frame, and the contrast between dark window panels and light window panels.

This photo meets the challenge well. The boy certainly looks like he is coveting this car. I also love the complementing reds in this photograph, though obviously the store did that on purpose

The best thing about taking a picture of a window, what's behind it, and its reflection, is that the picture tells multiple stories in one. This bizarre effect lets the viewer dive into the photo, analyzing and observing what is going on. Unfortunately, neither of these stories are very interesting to me in this picture.

So bizarre and interesting. I was entertained for quite a while, deciding whether the girl was real or not, whether the dark shape in the reflection is you or not, whether its a nativity scene etc.
I do hate those two lights in the left corner though. They absolutely completely do not match with the rest of the 'feel' of the picture in my opinion.
Good job in telling a story...or rather, letting us invent one.

Loving the double reflection, but not too fond that I can see you in it. Still, that is totally personal preference so not dinging you on that. Plus I decided that it actually creates a fairly dynamic composition by creating a triangle between the wheel,biker and you.
Probably personally would have cropped out the wall on the left. This shot is meant to be intentionally abstract with its layers, so why ground us by giving us a sense of place? Again, just my opinion. Great black and white conversion by the way. 6
