I don't know if this is contemplative or creepy, and I love not knowing. 7

This really makes the cut on this theme. I do find it a bit out of focus but I'm giving it a six for composition and appropriateness for the theme.

Go back and take this again with an anonymous person leaning against the wall and looking toward the window - incarcerated! The hilites are a little blown but regardless, this still works well and I like it

This evokes strong emotions of abandonment or loneliness. Cropping it with the window so high also really brings to mind a cell or some similar room where the gloominess is emphasized by a high wall.

Great job! Going in my favorites.

is this really a color photo, or was it desaturated in ps? It just seems that way to me. I won't be altering your score because of that though.

I'm not sure why I like this, but I do. And it meets the challenge (to me) better than most. 9

I came back to this after voting on all the entries. The only thing I could think to improve this is to maybe have it a little more off-center (with the window a little more to the left). Still, this is one of my favorites in this challenge... I'm going to bump it to a 10.

The focus seems a little soft but still in my top 10 for this challenge.
