 Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low light
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back
(Pearl Jam - Low light)

I was thinking of this challenge when this song starts playing... and I grapped the tripod and the camera and took one photo through the living-room window, inspired by the song.

Just crop and put in duotone.

Thank you for kind comments. This obviously wasn't well received from all the voters.

Like this very much: the mystery of it, the compositional strength, the strong sense of light. I oftenwonder, with this kind of tonal rnage in an image here (i.e. dpc, or web display generally), whether it isn't more effective to enhance the low-end curve - from around 0 up to around 20: the variety of different moitor settings and types on which it is going to be viewed have the greatest difference in that kind of range, and it ouwld give you more control over what folks generally see in areas like the left of frame here.

cool shot, makes me wonder what I'm looking at through the low light and water on the glass

Visually I find this a little complicated. There is no solid focal point for your eye to find. All the droplets are in focus, which is good, but its missing the "umph" of a subject. Also, the reflection is something, but we can't tell what it is. If the reflection made more sense, or didn't exist at all, it'd be a strong photograph in my opinion. Nice job though.
