 This is a view from an old factory window. This is my first challenge submission.

I adjusted the levels, curves (for a strong contrast), color balance, brightness & contrast, hue & saturation, and added a warming photo filter LBA at 22% density.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Oh, I really like this - but what's really annoying me is that I don't know why! What sort of a critique is this going to be?? Let me try - I like how it is inside / out / outside / in; hidden and revealed; public and private; free and constrained. Does any of that make sense?

Critical stuff: Perhaps the crop? I keep wishing the window was central in the frame but I suspect if I played around with it, it would look better just as it is.

Overall: So much more than the sum of its parts - taken by someone who really 'sees'.

Interesting concept I give you that. The near center composition with distorted perspective is also interesting but not enough to really want me to continue looking. It appears we can see all we want to within a brief second of viewing. There is no real interest or activity going on that warrants the eye to stay.

How effective that this off paned window offers only pieces of the view beyond it which pretty much echoes the view of the one through which we look. Some of it is stark and lined, repeated glimpses on a level of class. The frosted ones admit only another point kind of reality. The pitch black frame of the casing enhances what colours we do see. Are we held in by it or kept out?

Very simple and different. I like it.
