I shot this image through a stairwell window at the local art museum. The glass is over 80 years old and its fairly opaque and creates an interesting distortion as you look through it.
Post Processing:
Converted to Grayscale
Added a Gaussian Blur layer at about 50 pixels
Reduced opacity of the new layer to 40%
Resized and Added Border
