This was photographed by accident. I was taking several pictures in Trinity Park in Boston and happened to find this in the reflections of the John Hancock tower. I widh it were intentional because I could have made it larger. Not great in my opinion, but suggestions for improvement (composition and post-) would be much appreciated.

"Trinity Reflected" is a very interesting addition in the Window Framed challenge. I really do like the shot, and I guess you had a different interpretation of the challenge which is always good in my opinion.

The overall image is a great idea and I really like the frame being as full as you could fill it with the building. I think you might have placed higher if you increased the colors either by the levels of the contrast. This was a very natural looking shot, I read your comments and for not really meaning to take the shot it looks pretty good. Also I understand that you were able to make it bigger because of that, but because you are pretty close I don't think it hurt your score as much as it could of if the image were much smaller.

I am very glad you took the time to enter this challenge and I look forward to your future challenges.

great shot. I think a little more contrast and shadows would make it even better.

ok, this would do awesome in a reflection challenge, but not in the window framed challenge

Nice reflection, the colors look a bit muddy, had you run this shot through 'levels' or the equivalent and played with the 'hue/saturation' this could have been vastly improved

This image would improve HEAPS if you dramatically increased the contrast in it, just try it, trust me.

This is a nice contrast of new and old.

I think a quick levels adjustment would help this shot by getting rid of the hazy look, otherwise a nice shot.

The colours seem a little flat here - I think you need to increase the contrast slighting in post processing.

Nice shot, I could be wrong but it looks like it needs some Layers balancing done? Still a very strong composition and photo.

This could have been a lot bet image, level, curves or anything to improve it. Its a flat side. Also need to keep your file size up to around 150k.

Think this one needs to be a bit darker to make it a bit sharper.
Nice capturing the old from the new!

nice but would look better (to me) if the window lines were level

picture could use a bump in contrast.

Nice 'old and new' thing going on here. Could use a little boosting to the levels to give it more 'punch'.

Love the IDEA I wish you had knocked the saturation level up a bit and given this a wipe-over with a USM filter to bring up the detail and the colour. I like the diaganal window frames against the gothiq building it works for me but please put more colour into it and get the BLACKS and WHITES cut in and this might of been top 10... good luck -8-
