Self portrait looking out of an observation tower. Would have preferred the light in the window to be more blown out so you couldn't see the trees but then I would have been too bright in the picture and that is not the look I was going for. Not really sure if this will do well but I am happy with the photo regardless.

I like the composition and the high contrast really works as well. I don't mind the trees there, I think they are part of the story. The lines are amazing.

excellent ... this evokes an emotion in me .. it looks like you're in some weird jail and wish you were on the other side of those bars ... i like the fact that you can see the trees in the background .. love the contrast and the way you've composed your shot .. :)

wonderful, cinematic photo. I gave it a 7 and never got back to bump it higher. It makes me think of Fellini.
