This stood out for me. And I think it's nicely seen, observed. Anyone can photograph a sunset and most sunset photographs are dull and two dimensional, not this one. It adds a sense of place, I can almost imagine being there seeing that view through the window. I wonder if you saw it like this or whether you had a fiddle with the angle of the window,. However you acheived it doesn't matter, it's lovely.
There were a lot of photos of windows (obviously !), and once you've looked at a 2 dimensional depiction of one window or door you've seen 'em all. I like this one because it adds a bit extra, there's more to it than just a window, there's more to see and imagince and look at. Compositionally it's on the edge, literally ! The shadow draws the eye in and down. Nice.
Street photography at it's best ; a moment in time, a captured moment and an interesting one at that. The fact they're looking at each other, her expression is playful and his is not, male v female, real v drawn, 2-d v 3-d, living breathing v stone.. the difference in scale. The composition's nice too
I love this ! It's unusual and it's funny. Two peering faces, slightly obscured by the glass. And boy are they peering in ! Very rude ! Door to door salesmen ? Debt collectors ? Jehovah's Witnesses ? Whoever they are I'm drawn, what's going on ? Who are they ? Their expressions make the photo, they look rather sinister, but behind the door, we're protected from the sinister element. A really great shot, very poignant and thought provoking, well done. My question is about the robin, it doesn't look real becuase it's lit differently to the rest of the scene - was it photoshopped in, if so why ?!

***This contest is open to subscribers (members on the Challenger, Pro and Master subscription tiers). However if you're not a paying subscriber you can still purchase entries for £2 (GBP) per image.*** Whether we always consciously notice them or not, doors and windows are everywhere and come in all shapes, sizes and settings. They can reveal so much about the time and culture they exist in, or the building they give entry to. One particularly interesting (and difficult!) element of photographing doors and windows is their relationship to the light around, or coming through, them. Are you up to the challenge? It all hinges on you.

I like abstract photography. And you can't beat looking through textured glass to get a good abstract. The composition is nice and easy on the eye, with a slight curve and the colours are lovely, it's not over saturated or unreal, its bright and cheerful. Finding the right focus can be fun with these kind of shots, depending on which way you look at it, whether to focus on the window or the view. I particularly like rain, focus in on the dropelts and you get tiny reflections of the world too. Nice work, thanks
