Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Fast and friendly, meets the challenge, pretty cool shot
Composition/ Content
I'm a little surprised this didn't do a better than it did. Windows was a tough challenge with lots of high scores but I like this. It has a fresh and happy feel to it. Katie-Mac is very inviting. The blow-out behind her head is a little distracting as are the red car and the apartments. The bricks that show as a reflection in the window actually add to the shot in my estimation. They seem to point right toward Katie and her infectious smile.
Background
As I mentioned there are a lot of distracting elements here and probably the weakest area of the shot. Did you try different angles or was Katie too quick for that?
Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good but it's hard to know what to even focus on. It seems pretty even though. Lighting is good on Katie-Mac, the focal point. I like the blur of the towel.
Digital Processing - Technical
Because of the relaxed rules of this challenge you may have been able to clone out some of the distractions but it would have been a nightmare IMHO.
Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.
My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a six that bordered on a seven. I think that it meets the challenge well but was a little busy. It may have done better in another challenge i.e. reflections or journalism because Katie-Mac is more the focus than the window or door. I like the shot. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

| Not crazy about your title, though that won't affect my vote. There are just too many distractions in this shot for me - trees, buildings, cars, reflections. I think I would have preferred a more straight-on close up of her-she looks kinda cute. |
