The window worried me most, and I looked at a lot of windows in the street to try and find out how I should depict the glass. Now, glass is very tricky because it reflects as well as lets you look through. I chose reflection, (the thing that stood out to me most as I looked around), because I absolutely wanted to show Eileen's environment while still zooming in on her. The thing you can most call me to task for is not including Tobias in the reflection, but that was a conscious choice on my part; it would have ended up looking too crowded and take the attention away from what I wanted to stress. Likewise, if I'd shown the room's interior through the reflection, there would have been too much in the window.
I know - I'm always quick to throw realism out of the window for the sake of pretty simplicity :D...
