This is an image from Devils Garden. I thought it was interesting for the textures and color and lighting and also the view thru the rock at more rock!! Thanks for your comments. Chet

I like the concept and the variation of light.
I would crop out some of the foreground rocks to bring more attention to the window and background. I might also tame the bright spot as well.

I like it as is without a crop, but I agree on bringing down the bright center.

I like your comp and the handling of the range of tones. One more for a little more work on the brightest areas.

I really like what you are doing here. My opinion would be a little less FG rock and off center the window a bit. Would love to see this one is b+w. TFS

Nice view! I like the rich color! It might just be me but it seems a tad over sharpened, and the highlights could maybe come down a hair.

I do see a face peaking through the window Chet. Great find. As others have suggested, I might be inclined to tone down the highlights in the window but a facinating image overall.

This is especially interesting because at first it feels like one of those optical illusions where you're not sure what's in front and what's behind. The view through the window is great, especially because of the face (eye, nose, and mouth) peeking back at us. I like all the details in the foreground stone, so I'm in the don't crop camp.
