This is a view of and from a window. I do believe it really does meet the challenge. Note that you can clearly see the glass and frame and reflections. I will concede that the view may not be "interesting" as far as it does not involve a large body of water, a lovely wooded view, a sunset or sunrise, or a naked chick. I think it intersting in aggregate, though. But that's just me.
Here's hoping for more than a 4.7, but I won't be shocked if it doesn't achieve that either.
Edited from the small jpeg (with a touch of Topaz), as I haven't loaded the software to deal with the RAW files yet. Shot with -.33 exposure correction and my beloved 10-22 (at 22mm) - not just for landscapes, you know!

So. Apparently no WOW or whatever the frac it is that one needs for a 6. I swear, this really does meet the freakin' challenge. But apparently it is also crap. Or blah. Or who knows what. But what it is not is a decent 6+ photograph.

What you think you shot is people looking out into the big city. But what you don’t know is you captured a picture of a Vampire, don’t believe me, where is the dark haired girls reflection? As always love it..
As I said before, this was one of my top three favorite shots. There was so much to explore. I loved that the reflection was so clear, and yet you could still see the city. I love the looks on the people's faces. The more you look at it, the more you see. It's not a pretty landscape, there's just so much more story here.
Norman Rockwell, The Second Coming in a Contemporary/Banal Venue. Didn't know it was yours, all I could think of was what I just said. The postures are riveting, the verticals well placed ( mild sense of vertigo), and the perspective spot on. This can go in your book.
I liked this but started my commenting too late - so no words from me during the challenge :(. My fave part was seeing the people's reactions completed in the reflections. I like how it looks like the outside view has a framed roof over it. I thought it was a cool capture :)
I really love this one! I always love photography that captures the human element in real life rather than ones that look totally staged. For me, this has the interest and charm of a Norman Rockwell 2009 photo :)
