 PostLuminous Award Nominee!
Photographer was doing the window shopping, eh? :-)
GREAT image and will stand on its own merits independent of any challenge theme. |

| Looking at the other comments, most seemed to agree that it didn't fit the challenge, but it was an interesting shot nonetheless. It would have probably done fairly well in a street photography challenge. I gave it a 4 simply because I felt I had to knock something off for being a little too far off target. Sorry, but I still wanted you to know it was good and I liked it. |

| I'm think headed I guess. struggling to see the challenge connection visually or from the title. Sorry! As for the photo, the treatment and perspective are interesting. |

| Very interesting and well done street photography. (Phone-cam, perhaps?) However, in spite of a couple of windows on the other side of the intersection, they do not strike me as a major element of the shot, and I don't see how this fits the topic. |

| I do like this -- a lot. I'm not sure how well it meets the challenge though, as I'm not sure what I'm looking at. It almost looks like she's looking at a giant screen or mural. She seems somehow detached from the scene. |

| I'm sorry, I have tried to figure it out, but I don't see what this has to do with the subject of the challenge. |

| Nice photo but I personally don't see the connection to window shopping, though there are store windows across the street. |

This is the outstanding entry in the challenge: the most ambitious; the most thoughtful; the most photographically accomplished.
I know there will be many who’d disagree in particular with that last point, but the anarchic nature of the photography here (it’s what I’d call an ‘anti-photography’ photograph) is beautifully judged for its purpose. It’s an image that scoffs at the sacred cows of composition – there’s no mindless genuflecting to the leaden bloody Rule-of-Thirds here! It also positively revels in its unruly colour balance. And it cares not a jot about its wilfully delinquent geometric distortion. It even says a big foc-u to focus, at least in the wretched ‘tack-sharp’ sense.
And all these lovely Rabelaisian rebellions actually work perfectly together to establish the suggestion that this photograph is merely a premonition of another moment that’s just about to happen â€Â¦ and we can also sense that something else will happen after that too, as a result of the first something. The point of this photograph, in my view: I think it’s about consequences.
The girl confronts the choice of walkways with a small act of bodily distortion, as if trying to divine the way with her elbows. Thus everything here – the roads, the walkways, the building facades, the traffic, even her forearms – all of it intersects at her perception. She will soon choose. Left or right? Red or yellow? But maybe not wrong or right â€Â¦ there may be no wrong or right path, in which case it is probably best to do as you suggest in your title, and go with the dog. Dogs have very good instincts, and they seldom fret about consequences.
It occurs that some may be sceptical about whether this is really shot through a shop window, but if so I hope they will not waste energy on that irrelevancy and instead use it to appreciate this super-duper photograph, to which I award the Order of the Thumb (and thus the kiss of death, alas):

| This is such an intriguing image - not exactly Window Shopping: the windows are a little far off to qualify for that (or perhaps the viewer is in the shop window...looking out). Anyway - I give this one merit on its artistic appeal and composition. |

| Interesting. Artful. I feel like I want to appologize for all the people who wont understand this. You dont have to be right up next to the window to be window shopping! I really like it! I hope Im not your only 10. |

This is really such a nice photo, but it is difficult to see the connection with the windowshopping theme. I do not think the scores will reflect the quality of this photo, just because there is not enough clear connection with the competition title. This was a tough message I got early when I started competing here.
Good luck anyway. Its a nice photo to have in your portfolio. |
