This is San Francisco shot through the dirty windows of a cruise ship with my Lumix P&S!
I agree, it's a bit of a shoehorn but I did underexpose when I took the shot in order for the "filter" to be more prominent. Processing is just a quick B&W conversion with Nik Silver, contrast and crop.

loving this shot I almost wish the boat was not in the way love the fact you used the overlay of the window to really really compliment this shot. excellent love it still 8
lol I can only imagine how much dirt was there in the boat you were in, I bet the engine broke down at some point :D...considering the dirtiness of the window, it doesn't make the photo look too good
I'd love to see this shot again not underexposed. It really has the feel of an old (really old) picture that's been sitting in someone's drawer for decades but it's a bit too underexposed to my eye.
Wowza! That's killer. I love it. I'm not so sure it really answers the challenge, to be honest, but it IS a little underexposed, I grant that, and it's a fine image, so... :-)
