| This really is very striking, and yes, creates a sense of unease but also of power. In my opinion, the nudity adds to this - though some may say it adds a sense of vulnerability, it strikes me more as confidence. |

I'm not sure what the nakedness plays into the story of the shot since the tension of the expression and the limbs add all I need to get me "into the scene".
Who waits at the rainy window nekkid? LOL!
I suppose it's the oddness of it all that sells this.
Congrats on your top ten! |
OK! So it's a story that makes sense that you want. I can't promise to deliver on that - I plan to continue on the odd path for a while.
In the meantime though, here is my non-nude alternate but I don't believe it has the same power:

| The framing, the pose behind the glass as if imprisoned, the water on the glass, and the expression that combine to create the mood here. Congratulations on the HM. |

| Congratulations on the HM, Paul. This image is beautiful, intriguing, and yes, a little disturbing. Certainly not an image to glide on by and forget. |

| This is exquisite art, imo. The nudity adds to the haunting dispair this portrays (if that makes sense, lol). I like this one better than the "best of" shot, in that it has a story waiting to be told. Congrats on the HM. |

| I do prefer this to the "other" nude on the front page, by a huge margin. Congrats on the HM, and for this evolution in vision :-) |

| It was a10 from meas well. The style, tones, setting, framing, pose, water on the glass, uneven glazing on the glass, all come together, and you did a fantastic job with the BW processing. Congratulations! |

| Very haunting; she looks like she is trying to convey something important to the viewer. The eye contact is mesmerizing. Good work. |

| Interesting shot. I'm not crazy about the tight crop. For me, more window frame and building would make a stronger image. |
