I dont get the title I can clearly see 5 windows and if that is a thumb you could have cropped it off
I titled it that way because the fifth window was off on a separate part of the building, similar to the way four fingers are clustered together and the thumb is off a bit to the side.
I thought about cropping the foreground, but I wanted to experiement with simulating a shallow DOF look instead.
The hopscotch squares have me counting too. Maybe a different crop would have accentuated the window theme. When I crop to exclude the foreground it makes a very, very strong image.
