this shot has pottential... slightly longer exposure and lack of blury yellow flowers in the foreground would make this picture interesting... as it is it's too dark and the flowers oin the fron are too distracting.

It is a gorgeous image ... but .. that bright yellow is a killer!

Here is my take:

* I converted to web-mode (from Adobe RGB 1998).

* I used auto levels to get started fast, and that has made the image a bit too blue and harsh.

* I tried all sorts of quick color adjustments to kill the yellow. They only worked so-so and in the end I cloned and then said -- the heck let's crop.

You've got yourself is one beautiful window . I wish that I had sppotted it as my wife loves flowers + windows.

Great find.

Thanks for your responses, guys. I put those daisies in there puposely
for the added effect. Guess it doesn't work, but, in fact, I did a crop but didn't like it.
I like your shot, Leigh.
