Window Shopping

Photographed for flickr group's theme, "Light Shines Through" (translucence, mainly).
I prefer the angled view, achieved with the perspective tool. Your thoughts?
Topaz Studio 2 "So Soft" filter added. #3 is posted to show that I only got the left side green window trim in the image. Select, copy, paste on new layer, flip, stretch and move. Repeat, repeat

This group of photos sent shivers through me! Each one is a prize winner.

Perhaps your shiver reaction is the flu... I find the multitude of lights a visual confusion. The image lacks a coherent story. Apologies, I realize it is not popular for me to swim against the flow of acclaim saluted by others.
Within this image, the cluster of lights lower left, just short of the mid-point and one-third up, would tell a simpler story of lights of two colors. The close crop tells us where to focus.
Upper right there is a theme of lights with horizontal lines, I like that also. I often find photos containing photos within. The crop tool is free.
Your use of the perspective tool and canvas increase to add the border fully around was well done.
I have problems connecting the title "Light Shines Through" with the image since the lights are being reflected and not shining through something.
Linda if I am wrong ... educate me.

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback, Don. I truly hope that you don't think "swimming against the flow of acclaim" is an issue in D.A. Courteous conversations with varied points of view are part of the appeal of the section IMO.
I may have stretched the concept a wee bit. The flowers on table in front of window photo from last month likely fits the theme much better. We have to take new photos each week, and I'm often looking to find an unexpected angle. I'll point out that the light does shine through each lamp's globe
For me, the chaos is more eye-catching than a close-up.
Attached is another shot. I hope you smile at my one attempt at demonstrating translucence in a more traditional way.

Joe, Jack and Veronica, thanks so much for your comments! As I mentioned to Don, the weekly themes require new photos and I try to think and see a bit differently, when I can.
I might post this one and the Stella pic, too (we can share three). We'll see how the next few days develop

Please Linda, no more mention of Stella, I miss having a cat to talk to and pet. I am through your images of her bonding. This image is weakening my resolve not to have a pet. If Stella ends up missing, do be assured I will take good care of her.
Stella and I are both fascinated by the Physics of bubbling water and the color makes it viable. Her tail expresses puzzlement. The pink/red contrasts well with your use of the pale background image and color. Consider the theme "Light Shines Through" is well stated with the color of redness on Stella's chest and face.
Your image of the lights and the supporting silhouettes is bold and definitive. The partial poles and wire bottom right, tell us there is more to the story... down the road. This image speaks to us. The young do not understand that electric lights have not been around forever, I recall my aunt's house still had gas fixtures on the walls and the wires were hung across the ceiling for electricity.

The image of the lights is amazing and something I would never think of shooting. It's very interesting. The one of Stella is cute and shows a cat at her best - being curious! The two lamps are a nice view of ironwork.
Kudos to you for doing this assignment per week. I couldn't do that, as I could never think of what to shoot to fit the theme.

I have always enjoyed lights, mirrors and reflections. Good job. I used to try to get the infinity shot when you hold a mirror in front of a mirror without the camera being in the picture. Never did figure out how to do it. Maybe someone here can.
Enjoying your Stella shots too. I can’t remember the person who used to weave stories of the most amazing adventures of her cat along with photos. They were a hoot. Carry on Linda!
