    I love the idea behind 2.... not sure if it is enough to win, but I really like the photo.

    Thank you Dnie,

    You are right -

    Yes, I'm thinking to re-shoot the second too, with different interesting reflections - this was just an
    idea to see if it may work or not - Thank you a lot thumb.gif

    #1 works well, but could be a bit more interesting
    #2 is more interesting but i see squares not stripes, if that makes sense

    Ooh, I like both of them! Might even be interesting to combine a few into a triptych....

    Interesting how we all see different things. I saw the stripes in #2 before the squares. I guess that shows, this could be an interesting round. :)

    I like them both. You always have such great ideas.
    In 2 maybe if you painted the square with more blue for the sky? to help seperate them from the others?

    You wouldn't have to color it much.

    Good luck

    Peace, gail

    I really like #1 - the distortion in the stripes really catches my eye & I keep looking back at it. If you could make it more contrasty - really just the darks darker, it would decrease the faint cross lines (which I assume are the lights &/or blinds on the other side of the windows), & it would really look like a zebra! & the name plays into it well. #2 is nice, just doesn't seem to have the fun or intrigue as #1.

    Tatiana, I like #2 best. It seems to be different glass on the right third of the photo which was a little distracting. To me the first thing I saw as stripes were the non-window areas although the stripes of sky are interesting.

    I like them both!! In #1, I'd crop so that the cement column part of wall isn't in the center.
