The view through a window

May 2021

The scale of this images is great. What a building. I love it's in black and white really allows me to focus on the building. The man standing in the window gives the image a great sense of scale. I love the reflections on the floor

I love the mood in this image. I want to open the doors and get out there. The colours of the orange and green is a fantastic contrast. The view out to the mountains really works. Feels like people are waiting to go out for a hike.

Simple, graphic and great. I love the use of focus here and the simple colour palette. I would buy a coffee here and for me it means this image works. I'd like to know what is outside and what's going on.

Great image and perspective. I really enjoy the view looking out and all the activity. The light falling onto the floor is great. I like the control of the light outside within the light from the inside. Great image and great work.

What view. What a sky. Then you see the castle ruins in the foreground. This image is full of history and I love the stillness within the water such a contrast to the mountains above. Like the blind framing the image.

I like the simpleness of this image. And the colours. The composition works really well with the darker elements at the bottom of the image. I like the difference is rain drops and the sizes. I want to know what the two lines are.

This is just a great image. It's fun, the colours all work well together. I love the dogs tongue matching the car. The dog really jumps out against the dark background which works really well. The focus really is on the dog.

What a view. These buildings are fascinating. I love the composition. Some may have been tempted to not include the window but this really adds depth and frames the buildings. The lighting within this image really makes you feel all the textures and colours of the image.

At first, the seal and child in the white teeshirt caught my eye and then I noticed the boy in the blue shirt. His expression is wonderful. His intense stare while the other boy plays with a toy car for the seal is just great.

I want to be here. I love the view, you could sit looking at here all night long and it feels so warm and cosy inside. It's like a still from a movie. I like the way the top of the window is cropped out, it really makes you focus on the horizon.

The mood of this image is beautiful . I like in London's East End and I want to visit here. The control of the different lighting and tones is great. It has a feeling of an old movie still. Love it.

The composition of this image is fantastic. It forces you to read the image from left to right light reading a book. The softness of the light and sea outside makes me just want to jump into the sea. Great colour palette

Just graphic and simple but very powerful. Many would have been tempted to have taken the window out in post but I like it's been left in, keeps it real and observational. I wonder why the middle window isn't red.

Of all the billions of windows in the world, every one has a view that’s unique to itself. It can be beautiful, ugly, dramatic, soothing, or an everyday scene with no obvious significance to an outside viewer. Just like windows, a camera lens frames a view of the world and invites people to come and see. *This contest is open to Photocrowd subscribers (Challenger/Pro/Master), or by purchasing entries.*
