Conversion to b&w in raw. Normaly there should be a reflection of the moon in the upper window but it was pretty ugly so I cropped it. Just sharpen afterwards.

i like the motion of the passer-by outlined by the window - i just am not sure i like the choice of composition - the window to the right seems a bit overcropped down

A good image, but I agree that a different approach may have been made with the crop.

I'd almost like to see just the window with the passerby to see how that'd look.

Certainly an image that evokes intrigue amongst us!

That can't be bad.....8>)

Nice work on the exposure! Whilst I quite like the jaunty angle and lack of symmetry here that makes it a good candid I'd much prefer a more formal composition by taking a couple of steps to the right with the camera pointing straight at the windows and (as aguapreta suggested) taken from a slightly lower viewpoint.

I like the contrast and movement of the passerby. I'm not crazy about the crop but the conversion and tonal range is excellent.

Has a nice voyeuristic feel to it. Good work.

Cool shot. I like there is just a slight motion blur to the man. That, combined with the right window ending out of the frame gives a real sense of movement. We're witnessing a moment of real life, not something static.

I like how the windows pop in this shot, nice contrast going on here. The angle seems a bit odd especially with the window being chopped out of the photo. I think with the way it is now it could benifit from a thick black border to balance the right side with the left.

You remind me that the graphic elements in life are often useful backgrounds and that a small amount of movement in an otherwise static composition brings an image to life. I learn. So many things to learn...

The very first thing that caught my eye was "WIND". It made me wonder what else I am not seeing. Second, I just admire the clarity of the store scene you caught. It seems that whenever I try and get a shot in landscape orientation, things look wrong. Thanks for including your aperture and ISO info.

This is such a great street scene. I love this type of photography. I especially love the human element added by the guy walking in front of the window. You nailed the exposure on this. The inside lighting is perfect. crisp. contrasted beautifully. I love it.

This looks good in b/w. The silhouette of the person waling by really adds to the photo.

A neat look at the all too organized and perfectly matched life inside a store window. I always wonder if people buy the whole shebang and make their home look like the displays in the windows.

Fabulous - it has the fleeting feeling of walking by - like the man in the image - and the funky home accessories are perfect.

Really like this one. The contrast of the silhouette against the store front it really effective.

nice image, I know it might have been a bit more difficult, but shooting "up", so that the camera angle is looking up at the man, would probably make this a more powerful image.
