While glass will possibly not be obvious enough for most, I liked the way this couple's lives (at this particular moment) were entirely surrounded by glass - by the shelter in which they huddled and their eyewear.

this is stunning, jon! i love the composition and the crop...it seems to isolate the couple even more and really adds to the whole mood of the shot. while i think the should have placed MUCH higher (actually, i would give this a ribbon) i'm pleased to see that it didn't finish TOO far down on the list. sorta gives me hope that the DPC voters are developing a more discerning taste.
Excellent!!!!!! I'm not so sure that this is very DPC-friendly, but I hope that I'm proved wrong... I'm sure that some people will complain that the glass isn't very clear, but it's a very strong contributer to the thematic element of the photo. Also, I think that the choice to leave the top uncropped was a good one. Well done!
A nice moody shot, which the dirty glass helps to enhance.
I would have cropped much more tightly from the top. There's a lot of nothing happening up there. And maybe trimmed back on how much of the outside we can see - just enough to provide a frame. I think the space on the right works well, though; opening up a sense of the subject staring into empty space.
ohmygod. this's got to be one of the best photos i've seen.
i love the idea the title implies (sp?) & it's at a great angle & wow.
congrats on an amazing shot.
I like the paucity of detail yet the free reign you give to the viewer's imagination to create whatever story around the photo they wish. Glass window, also a psychological metaphor. 9.
This was about to be a low vote, but fortunately circumstances allowed time for it all to sink in. I'm not a fan of the overall composition (especially the amount of image given to the frame), but I do think you convey the emotion of the old couple very effectively. I fear this won't do as well as it should because it won't get the time it needs.
I simply Love this shot. The "harrumph'' look on the old man's face and the kind of sad look on the other guy seem to tell a story. Maybe the younger one is the son and taking his Dad to a nursing home. Or maybe both are back from a doctors appointment and all didn't go well.
Ever look at photos and try to figure out the ''story''??
This photo stirred something in me. I am bestowing a 10 ( also is going in my favorites)
This is my favorite for this challenge. The dirty glass, the black and white treatment and the interesting faces all make for a wonderful image. In fact, I am starting to think that this might be one of the best images I've ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised to see a picture like this in one of those coffee table books about famous photographers. Sorry for gushing, but I do think it is brilliant.
this one gives me an intimate feeling, like I'm watching these people. and that's a good thing. the noise (probably from an underexposed image?) looks good in an image like this. love the framing, in all it's ways :)
