"The Man In The Window" was a prefect addition into the Window Framed challenge. The strong colors just grab my attention right of the bat.

The image is something you can easily become engrossed in. The window frame itself is pretty interesting, especially with the deep blue sky. But the include of your friend, Wow, great thinking! I love the outfit. The depth of the shot is really great, it doesn't feel flat. The layers between the frame, its edges, the blue sky and your friend really enhance the work. Your composition and lighting are excellent. You have taken a great completely shot, nothing is missing. I wish I had more to say but this is just an excellent photo and I have to say congratulations.

Well exposed, great costume. He seems a bit small though, I'd have prefered him taking up more space in the composition.

oo nice color, very sharp and good shadows

The gradient from blue to black is cool, since it is interrupted midway by your model. His pose is interestinm I wonder what he's doing? Holding a cigarette?
Anyway, your image also has a weird perspective, it seems to me that the man should be much bigger. Cool.

Pretty cool shot, love the dark blue backround and lighting. What the heck is going on in this picture anyway? Get a strange "dr.Jekyll/mr.Hyde" vibe from it, would look good on a book cover. Love it, got an 8 from me.

A good composition and clever use of light. Could use a more poetic title as there is a very adventurous atmosphere in the shot. -9

Finaly photo that I like. Good idea. Lightning good but one thing that distracts me is this white thing in front of the guy (maybe his other hand).

Nice dramatic window. Nice blue background. Nice subject. I like this one quite a bit. 8 for now. May bump later.

Interesting combination of color/no color, texture/no texture and then the man. This shot intrigues me for some reason and I really like it.
Edit - back again - actually been back several times. By far the most interesting shot in the challenge. Bumping up.
