Very creative go4IT and liked . ? if I may, are you achieving this effect in editing or is it a fair representation of what was actually there in the reflection.

To Flan: glare often sharply reduces the saturation of colours in my window reflection images, so I frequently have to boost saturation SOMEWHAT to recover what was lost. That is by far the most common type of editing I do. In other edits, I may remove unsightly bits such as dirt on the glass, or a foreground power wire crossing through the image, or marks made by dirt on my camera lens. If you examine the above image, notice the white powdery "stuff" on and above the horizontal window brace. I chose not to remove that, but sometimes I will remove similar distracting bits. I also find glare reduces contrast, so I will almost invariably bump contrast up somewhat. Same with dehazing control in my LR Classic program. And of course, I always try to square up the straight lines of the window braces by rotating, or altering the vertical and horizontal controls. But I want to be very clear: I have never created any kind of "digital art" image in my life, as I have no interest in that realm, and my reflection images art not in any sense "digital art", but attempts to show what was "actually there", as you put it. I am posting now the image from which I extracted this closeup, so you can see the context of this closeup.

However you did it, this one is certainly closer to fine art, due to the degree of abstraction. I like it.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
