This is fine shot but it is a shot taken OF a window not FROM a window. Ah me what to do....well I give it a good score cause it is very good and you used a great angle but jeez read the challenge a little closer, please?

I usually prefer B/W, but on this occasion, I think colour would have enhanced the image. It is very good anyway. Just my opinion.

Beautiful picture. The focus, contrast and composition are perfect.

I like the angle you used here. Works well with the window slats.

Pople sometimes suggest that I 'clone out or otherwise eliminat an item in the photo I sometimes give it a try- and as often as not I think that they were right ... not always though! I like this shot very much. I believe that I would have liked it better with the tallest of the flowers and its stem removed - perhaps with post processing software. In any event it's one of my favorites just like it is.

nice black and white - a couple of the flowers seem to have a bit of a haze over them, maybe its part of the flower, but a bit distracting.

good luck

Very effective use of angles and monochrome. - 8

Absolutely wonderful composition, lighting and tones, but I"m not sure it meets the challenge theme as there isn't much of a view. Still, a terrific image.

Beautiful. Perfect. Nothing to say really. Might get scored low since the view is not out the window or reflected in the window, hence it is not a window view, but I still give it a 10.

I like the picture, which has a great tonal range, but I'm niot sure it fits the '...make it obvious it's been taken from a window' part of the brief. (6)

This is really a beatiful shot. It bothers me just a bit that the subject is the flowers and those are enhanced by the windowlight, but there's no real "window view" included.

Nice window, good contrasts and lighting.

Nice black and white. Wish the ray of light were a bit more prominent.

Nice picture of a window; flowers really set it off.

Has a great wow factor, wonderfully sharp and nicely arranged...

I love this - captures the spirit of the challenge, great composition and works especially well in black and white. Easily the best of the bunch!
