    I love all of the colours! It’s especially cool how the windowpane on the right makes the world look different than the left windowpane. Lovely job!

    Wonderful image. Everything about it from the texture of the peeling paint to the colours. It draws you in so much as to feel you are standing there also. Well done!

    Amazing shot, love your composition and the way the figures are framed within the shape of the window, almost Hopper-esque.

    Whenever I pass this building in Philly, I am fascinated by it, and it creeps into my mind for days after. It is haunting to view it from the outside, and I’ve often wondered what it would be like to peer out of it. Lovely insight, and great work.
