I decided to leave the window dirty for this picture because the frame was simply too ugly to leave in... I cropped a bit of it out, but you can still see the awful metal edges. This tree is out in the back yard and it looks so pretty in the spring.
I did quite a bit of editing on this one. There was some junk piled in my neighbour's yard, so I cloned it out and did some dodging and burning for blending. The photo was originally in colour and I decided to convert it to b&w and add some slight pinkish colouring; I also rotated and, as I said, cropped some of the nasty window frame out. I wanted to leave some of it, though, in case the glass wasn't obvious enough, which it should be. Curves and levels were also tweaked, and I did some sharpening with fading.
I had a difficult time with this, as all of my favourite window pictures ended up not showing the glass obviously enough and didn't include the frame. |

| Thanks Jason and the [few] others who understood my intentions with this photo. :) I wasn't expecting a great score, but I'm a little disappointed that it didn't break 5. I guess old fashioned is not the way to go here. |

| I am the only person who gave this a 10. I can't believe it didn't even break 5. Goes to show not everyone likes the same thing. |

| It's a beautiful tree, but the window reflections distract a lot from the impact of the photo. Maybe increasing the contrast would help. I'm not convinced that B&W is an improvement, blossom should be colorful IMO. |

| This shot would be improved by going outside and not worrying about the window. |

| There's just not enough contrast to jump out at you. Maybe the color version would have had more character? Spring is so full of color that it just seems odd in B&W |

| This may just be me but I have to think this would look better in color. |
