this window is balanced on these rocks. it has been sitting in my attic for a few years awaiting the spotlight - hopefully this will allow this humble window that I founf in the garbage on the curb to get its 15 minutes of fame. I used the flash and had to remove a little highlight and corrected the shadow from the wide lens, shharpened and un noised also used a little hint of filter to get a dreamier look - my original intention was to get an impossible window view - turns out that this seemed cooler.

Interesting lighting, I'm presuming you used flash. The windowframe in nature can be a bit cliched here, and I'm not sure you've made this less than gratuitous.
I like the floating frame. The broken glass and peeling paint just adds more to it. It might be a touch dark for some, but I appreciate its moodiness and find the whole image quite appealing. 8
lighting seems a little uneven on the right side. i like it, but it would have been even better if you had managed to get the bird in the frame, too. 7
Just got back from Fla. the day this challenge was due, and all I thought about was the 3 old window frames like this one that I had sitting in my gararge. Didn't have time to make it happen, but glad someone did...and did a damned good job of it at that! One of my fav's!! Great job!! "10" from me.
I really like this photo and the creative direction you took with it. The composition and color pallete work well for me. However, the focus seems a tad soft in all areas and the lighting appears to be distributed unevenly to create shadowing in some areas while appearing harsh in others. Nice shot nonetheless... my vote is a 7
