Greetings from the Critique Club!
Composition is pretty good, I like the symmetry very much! What I don't like is how flat it looks. Probably because of the angle you took the photo from. I guess that's ok because you would have ended up in the photo yourself! Did you try more from the side, and up a bit so you could get some more perspective in the shot?
I like how the tree is reflected in the windows. I wouldn't change that. The overall feel of the photo is a bit cold because of the blue'ness of the photo; I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were trying to emit how cold it was that day :)
My opinion of the picture is that I like your idea, but a different angle with more perspective would have worked just as well, if not better than straight on. I think your score was very good too! I hope to see many more of your work in the future! Good luck in the next challenges :) |

| Interesting reflections. The composition is strong, but the photo overall seems a bit flat to me. The colours are nice though. |

| The bushes in this shot really detract from it for me. I would have loved a nice tight crop surrounding all the windows and really showcasing them. The reflections of the trees are wonderful and provide so much interest. The overall color on my monitor is blue, and I'm wondering if it was your white balance, or if possbly that color cast could have been removed in PS or a similar progra. I think if the building was more of a nice stark white, it would have provided a wonderful contrast and really made the photo "pop". Then again, maybe I'm completely off base and the building IS blue!! |

| Beautiful reflections, I also like the window that shows up in the background of the large window. Nice pic. (8) John Gill |

| I really like the reflections in the windows. Why is it so muddled. The reflection looks very caotic. Looks cool. The rest of the picture lacks something though. |

| challenge met. i like the tree reflecting in the windows a lot, i was looking around for a shot like that this week but didnt' find anything. a couple of things that i would've considered changing in your photo (and you probably have, and decided they didn't work) is cropping out the foreground in front of the bushes. i don't think it adds to the picture. a little more contrast would've made the photo "pop" more. a difficult thing to control are lines, especially when shooting up a building. they don't look quite straight at the top. centering yourself in front of the middle window (i think you were probably positioned a little to the left) might have reduced the uneven lines, and i would've also tried playing around with a little rotation, even if that makes the windows not quite level, just because the top of the photo is the most noticeable. lastly, you seem to have vignetting on the edges of your photo. is that from a filter maybe? i have that problem, too, sometimes, and try and take pictures a little wider than i need and then crop the picture i actually want out of the center. depending on what was around you that may of course not have been possible. i do like the symmetry of your photo. :) |

| Great relection. Good eye. One tiny thing: would like to see the siding paralel to the horizon |

| Great idea. If the windows were a little less transparent, I would've definitely scored this one higher. Good shot still - Inspzil |
