This is fine shot but it is a shot taken OF a window not FROM a window. Ah me what to do....well I give it a good score cause it is very good and you used a great angle but jeez read the challenge a little closer, please?
Pople sometimes suggest that I 'clone out or otherwise eliminat an item in the photo I sometimes give it a try- and as often as not I think that they were right ... not always though! I like this shot very much. I believe that I would have liked it better with the tallest of the flowers and its stem removed - perhaps with post processing software. In any event it's one of my favorites just like it is.
Absolutely wonderful composition, lighting and tones, but I"m not sure it meets the challenge theme as there isn't much of a view. Still, a terrific image.
Beautiful. Perfect. Nothing to say really. Might get scored low since the view is not out the window or reflected in the window, hence it is not a window view, but I still give it a 10.
I like the picture, which has a great tonal range, but I'm niot sure it fits the '...make it obvious it's been taken from a window' part of the brief. (6)
This is really a beatiful shot. It bothers me just a bit that the subject is the flowers and those are enhanced by the windowlight, but there's no real "window view" included.
