The color, combined with the silhouette, are breath-taking. Well done!

cool tones work nicely, the misty scene beyond the window is intriguing too.

This should be Mephisto! I like how you kept the detail both inside and outside, I guess one of them was pretty obscure. Good choice with the green tint.

one of my favorites in the whole challenge - the light is outstanding to bring out the textures and provide the glow needed to make the shot work

Great use of shadow here.... I like the centre framing (although want he head closer to the middle of the window frame if I was picky). Colours are great.

I really love the quality of the light in this, the architecture is interesting and the leaves/trash on the ground add to a mood

Nice odd sort of artistic feel going on here. I like the silhouette and the color is nice. Feels like it's a moment out of a storybook.

LOVE the deep hues and details

It's a cool building for sure. However, I'm not sure about the overall composition. I don't connect with the model and sillouettes that aren't black black seem to bother me for some weird reason. 5

Captures a mood beautifully. One of my few 10's. Good luck!

Wow, sweet location! Nice colors & silhouette - title a little confusing for me, but maybe I'm just not making the connection quick enough... -- 7 --

I love this color.

A rare shot where a centered composition seems to work well. I also like the color of this.

Love the dark moody blues and autumn colors outside the window in this compositon. The tones of the blues of the wall, the silhouette of the interior of the building & person, and the autumn setting seen outside speaks of a quiet sadness. It is the cool blue tones and the symbolic meaning of Fall/Autumn that really help to color this composition with the mood of sadness/of passing/passage of time. The person standing there in the church is in silhouette with no identifing features such that the viewer can easily place themselves into the photo as one quietly contemplating or silently reflecting upon the passage of time (as seen outdoors with it being autumn and autumn signaling a change in life cycle/seasons). Love the lighting, composition, and colors. I have no critique on how to improve the image. A 10 and favorite from me.

Wonderfully moody.

I love this. I think it's the colour and the blocky graphic silhouettes mixed with very fine delicate detail. Excellent.
