Colour Abandoned was your entry in the Transparency II challenge and it is one serious photo.
Technical:
Good use of the maximum permitted size, beautifully focused and good DOF. The desat works superbly and there is no sign of oversharpening, although there appears to be a hint of noise/grain in the frame, however this adds to the overall effect. I could be really picking and start inspecting ever detail, but I won't because the image stands as it is.
Composition:
I like the positioning, it is not quite central in that big square format which makes it feel even more quirky. The reflections in the glass look ghostly and fit the abandoned house very well. My only criticism is that the bottom of the window frame appears to be resting on the ground. I know it isn't, but that is the impression I get, due to the rising ground behind and the long grass. But it doesn't spoil the image in anyway.
Overall:
A stunning image with great imagination. I can't find any faults, other than my brief mention of the hanging bit, and that isn't a fault. Your past images are well scoring and this 7th place is well deserved. A great image for prints. Well Done and I hope this is helpful and constructive.
Very pretty, but not quite as well done as the other "picture frame" entry in the challenge. Still, it's something to be proud of. Good capture, and I like that the house is in focus, instead of the frame.
a remarkable take on an unremarkable shot - that is without the frame this is really nothing special at all - this is excellent - 8 for now - bumped to 10
Creatively done. Having actual glass in the frame (is this a storm window) is nice because you get the reflection which, I think, adds rather than sutracts. I'm usually a fan of selective desat or I guess sectional desat. 7
I think that this is a brilliant concept, wonderfully executed. The angle you've chosen really sets it off, as the whole effect would be a little staid if the frame were square-on.
