| The rock-texture is cool and the colors are sharp, the only thing that bothers me is the "window/portol" on the left is cut in half. Maybe a closer cropping of the right-window only may work better. And more of the empty floor to depict/clarify an empty room, which was the challenge category. My superman baloon was also lower than I expected 41/113 and the 3rd place one had similar juxtaposition, but with warmer colors. |

I would have given this a 5. The colors are too oversaturated and the blacks are "clogged". No more laptop for you! :)
It's hard to do a sp. Getting the focus is always an issue with me. This was a difficult scene to capture because of the differences in exposure. Looks pretty good...considering. |

Since you asked in a thread......
I dare to differ from the general after-challenge praise, sorry.
I didn't score it, but would have given it a 5 or a 6, and here is why:
The b+w inside jumped out at me as having been desaturated. It's not in keeping with the true nature of the place. By looking so unnatural and "wrong", it holds my attention and achieves the exact opposite of what you were trying to achieve (as per your notes). I would have preferred to see it left the natural color, but perhaps darkened a little if that was necessary.
Much of the sky is blown and the colors outside look over saturated to me.
This whole photo is really all about the view, not the empty room. It fits the challenge, but only in a happenstance way.

Rikki, I love this image. It brings back wonderful memories of the time I've spent in the Rockies, and it also makes me wonder just what you're thinking as you sit there.
The only nitpick I have at all is that the bright blue in the mtns distracts me a bit. Personally, I would mute that just a touch.
I really don't understand the low score! |

| this is a great photo! i bet people voted it lower because it doesn't have that closed-off empty feel... it's very open. i love it though. i would have voted it high. |

| Wow...what a view. I wish I could crawl up on the other wall and watch the view too....get me away from the world for a while. |

| It's hard to feel the emptiness of the room because such a small part of it is shown. |

| Nice idea. The clouds look a little blown, but this looks like a tough exposure. Might be a little stronger compositionally if the person were framed a bit further away from the center of the shot. |

| Wow! That's the most beautiful empty room I've seen. The window to that amazing scenery adds perfection to an already cool photo :) |
