post prossessing in this is nice but also very appearent around eadges which should be sharp but shows up as a huge outline... the tones are nice but the burning and dogging are also not well blended and very appearent.
nice over all composition also not teribly fitting to the details of framing in a window the window isn't so core to you image.
I like the image, I like the B&W feel, but IMO it does not meet the challenge.
The challenge description specifically says to frame the subject with a window. There is a window in the background, but I don't feel it actually frames the subject.
This has a window in it but the subject isn't framed by the window. I like the idea, the silhouette and the light, but unfortunately, this doesnn't quite meet the criteria of the challenge.
