"Five Loaves Bakery" is a nice entry into the Window Framed challenge.

The image itself has a different subject which I think grabs attention. I really like your idea and think you have a great idea. The contrast between the green and the red also grabs attention and enhances the shot. Unfortunately the reflections that we can see in the glass take away from the overall image. Also I might have tried cropping it a little differently. I would have tried it tighter on the right side like on half way on the column. Also possibly cropped the pole on the left side out completely because it is distracting because of how uneven it looks.

Overall this was a great idea and I look forward to your future works!

A bit like a snapshot, your reflection in the window really takes away from this shot. Some nice colours and textures though.

Well seen and executed, great complimentary colors in the shot... not too cluttered, only one theme of interest, well done!

A few things you could do to improve your image, one cropping in from the sides removing the silver frames, two adding more contrast, three blurring background object. I used the elliptical marquee tool, by pulling out a nice big circle then inversing it. Then I filled with black paint and blurred it to remove the sharp circle edge. Then you drop the opacity down to about 10%. Give you a better image. Also this helps the viewer focus on the subject.

Somehow this doesn´t seem as sharp as it could be other than that, very mediocre, I mean, it´s just a shop window and compared to the effort many others put into this challenge, this pales in comparison... 4 from me.

Excellent shot.I love the colors. It is 10 from me.

This is a photo of a window with bread in it...

It doesn't really tell a story like it probably could...compositionally, you should think about drawing the viewer into the frame, leading their eye where it should go, and giving it something to rest on.

A polarizer could help to minimize your reflection that you got of yourself.

nice shot. Did you mean to have the reflection?

Pretty colors. Next time, shoot from a slight angle so you dont' end up as a reflection in the window.

i would have cropped tighter on the edges for this shot

Very nice. I might have composed just a bit differently to include the rest of the basket handle, but that would be about the only change that I'd make. Great colors and crisp focus.

You're making me hungry.

I like it a lot and would have rated it higher but it seems a bit out of focus. (Although perhaps this was the desired effect.) Good luck.

The slightly out of level sill bothers me a little. But, nice color combination and exposure.

Very nice, great colours and textures.

Nice colors and composition. Could you have zoomed back just a bit to see more of the framing window? the red and blue contrast nicely and I like the warm tones of the bread. The bread on the left looks just a bit soft. 6

I like it, but would have been nice to see more of the window.

now I'm hungry!! I'm so distracted by the yummy looking bread, that I'm not sure I can comment subjectively on the photographic merits of the picture!
