Exceptional image. The sense of abandonment is amplified by a sense of keening emptiness. The exterior reflections are powerful, especially the beautifully positioned human form, into which open portal upon portal to the soul. The shabby foreground makes an ominous threshold. Within the interior are a series of pleasing rectangles, surprisingly orderly and calming. In total it's emotionally and aesthetically moving.
My personal favorite in the challenge, and one of my favorites on the site.
Please take no offense, but the photographer's reflection in the window just doesn't work for me. Perhaps it was necessary to get an inside view, and the inside is clearly abandoned and quite apropos to the challenge, but I just wish that another method had been used to block the reflective quality of the glass panes. I do like, as the title pronounces, that the viewer is directed through the structure right to another window.
