Snapped through my sliding glass window of my apartment. I originally was just going to go for the stairs, which probably would have scored higher, but it didn't have the "out of a window" effect I was looking for. Was I very lazy in taking this? Yeah...but I want to try to have an entry in every challenge, regardless of how well I think I'll do.

In the sea of the other images submitted to the challenge, this one did not look outstanding. But viewed alone after the challenge, I would say it is a very good image. It grows on you.
Sorry but this doesn´t really do much for me, doesn´t seem like you put a lot of thought or energy into this one, looks like a snapshot. Think you can do a lot better :)
Interesting idea but there are several things here competing for my attention, the bars in the front, the benches on the terrace, the rail on the terrace, the stairs on the other side, the windows on the other side, all fighting each other and offering a jumbled overall distracting shot. The lighting is also very unbalanced and the hot spot in the upper right middle is very distracting. It's pulling my attention more than anything else. Maybe if you came back from the window a bit and up, so you had just the bottom of the terrace rail with the stairs across the way? Also less time on the exposure so the lights in the stairwell don't cause such a hot spot? Sorry, as is, a 3
