nice observation, presented at a good size; one thing i notice is a slight

the non-relationship of the people in the photo; should still be interesting 
many years from now


one thing i notice the insane number of plants this place maintains; they 
ought to be growing food there; another thing i notice is your lens is just 
about perfectly planar (or you post-processed to remove distortion), which 
also adds to the tension

I like the geometry of the shadows, and I like the 'Rear Window' idea of 
people's lives going on independently and publicly, so I would love to see this 
as 2 separate photos rather than one.

I love the composition, the interplay of light and shadow, and the

I can't help but think that there might be a better way of processing 
the tonality, but don't have any suggestions beyond maybe bringing down 
the blacks slider to darken  the deepest blacks.
