 Looking out my front door window at a daffodil taped to the storm door. I had to sacrifice sharpness to get the details I wanted on both the frosted etched window and the flower through the beveled pane. I think it's an interesting effect. Natural outdoor light left it a little bright at TR. I tried a few more attempts this evening with lights, but the natural lighting appealed to me more.
Thanks for the votes and comments. They are appreciated.

Beautiful! Good idea. I think it would have been better if I could see the whole flower in the middle.

I would like to see the flower more centered, frames seem a little tilted to the right. I like the idea of it all being blurry except from the flower.

Interesting near-abstract shot. Perhaps lacks a bit of bite in the colours, or maybe it's just a blur added by the glass, or even that your depth of field doesn't quite have the scope to get the glass and the flower completely in focus. Just that little extra element would make those odd refractions and blurrings more impactful, i think.

Beautiful shot! If there was some way to center the flower a bit more it may have looked better.

Good colour work on this very formal piece...... sharp focused yellow flower enhanced by the beveled jewel really pops out from the green translucent light of the window. A good thoughtful design. Enjoyable to view.

Nice composition, but I wish the flower was more centered within the diamond.

Interesting idea, some interesting composition and textures. Overall the picture is not sharp enough, the textured glass is very blurry and the large amounts of glare on the right side of the frame is very offputting. The bevelled part of the shot works very well.
