second floor of our house. it's seven thirty, was overcast all day. in case if you are wondering, yeah, i'm the shirtless stud ;D. all i did in post editing was sharpen, contrast, and adaptive lighting (pumps up the brightness with a layer). i hope this feels sorta nostalgic to everyone else!

well done. oddly enough, this has a classical feel to it. Something about the shirtless man, the arms both bent at right angles & the parallel lines of the blinds all give an air of formality to an otherwise intimate scene.

Muppet, I really like this image. It is quite emotive, and you look terrific against that window. The lighting is excellent. I like the very subtle colors, although it would probably be good in b&w too. I gave it a 7 and am surprised it didn't score a 6 in the final tally.

Not really a good contre-jour for me. 5

Brilliant, simple and totally on-theme (unlike many shots I've seen in this challenge). My only minor complaint is converging vertical and barreling of the window frame - rest of the shot not being obviosly wide-angle, it's a bit distracting.
