I knew this window wouldn't be vote material but I like the fact that you have a hard time telling what is reflection and what is not, what is inside and what is out, etc. With a month full of bland days (as in no sunlight or shadows), I picked this photo because the light, and hence the colors, are so even.

I too love the richness here. The "icing" is the figure of the figure skater, almost underneath the reflection of the guy in the ball cap. Also, IMO, windows with shoppers/shoppers' reflections, meet the challenge rather better than those without.

Interesting picture, but maybe the result came out a little busy because of the reflections, which lead to distraction.

My kind of window - WAY too busy, lots of stuff going on, reflections everywhere. I really like it.

For me, it's difficult to see what is in the window. LOTS going on here. :)

Although the colors are pleasing, the composition is too jumbled. There's no clear subject. Too many things to look at.

The reflection are a bit confusing, but that's the point and it comes off well.

I once read a photography tip that said, for a strong composition, never include more than three major elements in a picture - just a thought. good luck

The window reflection is just too distracting. Nothing to focus on here.
