You have a keen eye to spot and take this shot, I like the subject matter, which for me gives a nice sense of alienation, and the balance within the window frame, but the abrupt cut off of the frame on the right spoils it overall for me.

Whether the frame extends further to the right is unclear so it may have been unavoidable.

A thought provoking and challenging image as always.

There's a special bleakness about launderettes, Ian. Very thoughtful photograph.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I imagine that took some PP to balance the light levels but the end product really works for me.

I did slightly crop the right side & was tempted to place a dark border there to match the other 3 sides.
Thanks Jim.

Pretty much as it came out of the camera Paul.
Thanks,
