Straighten with iPhoto
PSCS2-curves, +saturation, cropped, smart sharpen, added border.
I took a lot of shots from the windows at a friend's farm, but of course the one I fell in love with is the one with her holding the curtain rod.
I know that this will get killed not being a typical landscape shot..
but it fits my idea of the challenge, and I can live with it.

I really love the composition on this one where it appears like triptych. A portrait of a landscape in three seperate panels. The edges around each window pane is not sharply defined giving it the feel of a ragged worn edge -like an old photograph. This just adds a feel of nostaligia. Which is wonderful because we get the sensation of gazing through a window of time. My only critique is that this photo could have been framed better (or cropped depending on what the original shows). The composition would have been It would be wonderful photo if it was tightly cropped to just show the six panels (there is too much empty/dark space on the left side that adds nothing to the composition and it detracts from the main focus).
This has the feel in a way of an old master painting with the hands and the drapes on the side and looking out the thick glass. However, when I think landscape, I think scenic beauty showcased rather than diluted through tthe window with the action implied of hanging the curtain.
Hard for me to comment on the photographic quality, but I gave this a high rating because I could hang it on my wall. I really like your eye. Just a beginner, would appreciate more info on filters/processing.
I love this idea, very creative. I would have preferred to see more panes of glass though I get the feeling you cropped where you did due to the bush? Good.
there's some thing sticking into your really cool photo from the left - bet you would have loved to do more editing there - I would. The windows are very cool, great color and a nice take on the challenge, the dark left side hurts me :-) 6
