 Because of the searing heat this year, not much is reaching for the sky. The plants probably are not big fans of being so close to a busy intersection also.

interesting take on the challenge, not overly interesting though, the reflection in the window really takes away from the shot

I think this shot would have worked better if you got the whole window

i think having the reflection works, but i dont think you should have cropped half-way through the window

Like the tones and detail of the stone, but I think the cropping needs some work. Maybe a portrait would have worked better (IMHO). =-)

I think this picture, toghether with its title expresses an idea, that of dominance of concrete and artificial things over natural ones. Nevertheless, for a frame so deliciously simple, the reflected truck is distracting and annoying for me. I don't know the reason of the slanted view, why not a frontal one I wonder

This is a fun one. Made me smile. I love the colors also. I think if the window was less centered it would be a more interesting shot though.

The reflection really messes up tour nice shot.

Good coloring on the stones and window frame, but I don't care for the reflection.

nice idea, could have done without the reflection as it is distracting in this and you did not need it to convey your message.

Too bad there isn't a more interesting reflection in the window than a truck in a parking lot. I like the orange frame against the brick and the plain wood flowerbox. It all works but the reflection.

Good and simple. Beautiful colors, good clarity. But couldn't you have put at least a little flower in the box??? Good picture.

should have been square to the picture, or cropped the door out.
