"Windowed history" was a nice different addition into the Window Framed challenge. It think you captured voters attention by finding this shot. I would have to agree with Larus in saying this would be an excellent place to shot models, such a natural grungy backdrop.

The image itself is very nice. The overall composition is excellent, I like the nice full frame. The coloring does have a strong artistic feel to it, but I think that is what makes it work so well. Unfortunately what I think hurt the score overall was that by the guidelines we were shooting a subject through a window frame. But spending sometime with the shot, I really start to wonder if maybe you were trying to focus on the one lower yellowish square on the left hand side of the door. Well now that I think about it I really wonder if that's what you were doing. If so I bet if voters realized this it would have just jumped right up the chart. Wow this piece is so much more looking at that. Congrats on this is an absolutely wonderful piece!

Looks like a great place for some model shooting, I love gritty and worn locations like that.

This doesn't work well for me. The challenge is supposed to have the subject framed by a window. To me, the windows are the subject in this shot.

No clear point of focus.

This shot works...It's busy, it's cluttered, but it works...

It's partially the 'toned-down' or muted colors and a lack of contrast that just puts it together -- very artsy. Your composition is good, which helps everything flow...probably won't win a ribbon, but it would looks good in your portfolio either way.

Very cool. But I don't think it meets the challenge description.

Nice photo, really good look to it. I think it would be improved with some perspective adjustment though, to get it looking straight.

Good lighting and color. Decent composition. Looks to have a touch too much noise reduction applied to the image that makes it look a little artificial. Of course, that could be intentional. Overall, a nicely done image.

Nice picture, but it's a picture of windows, not "window framed".

I don't get what is being frame here ... "Frame the subject of your photograph using the window (as in from a building)."
