Playing Yo_Spiff's bingo game, since I think this will garner a 5.3.
I think some people will completely miss the person standing in the shadows and think it's a candid of the people outside.
Not enough light on the inside person.
perspective problems
too dark or too light -- don't know which, because I'm editing this on my husband's laptop, and it's either too dark or too light depending on what angle I have the screen.
Some might think candids should be of a person's front or face.

A tableau of winter Christmas fun just outside the window, and a silent figure inside sharing it - but not. We see an older person but from the back so we really cannot tell the expression - is it amusement? longing? the tension of waiting? This candid portrait is superb in that it gives no definitive answers except for what each watcher of the photograph interprets and brings into it. I like the view - and the backwards wreath and perfect house across the street add to this as do the muted plaid curtains which echo the person's lighting. Such stories to be told!
