I titled it that way because the fifth window was off on a separate part of the building, similar to the way four fingers are clustered together and the thumb is off a bit to the side.

I thought about cropping the foreground, but I wanted to experiement with simulating a shallow DOF look instead.

The hopscotch squares have me counting too. Maybe a different crop would have accentuated the window theme. When I crop to exclude the foreground it makes a very, very strong image.

Lovely focus and well presented shot but the subject is not very interesting.
