 I took this picture from my window after it rained.
I used macro to focus on the raindrops on the window.
The colours, brightness & contrast were then adjusted.

I didn't actually notice the window was dirty until it was too late (didn't have time to retake it), so I thought I'd change the title for a bit of humour - (pity it wasn't appreciated!).
It was such a non-descriptive & dull day when I took that shot, there wasn't much else I could do!

Perhaps you could get away with the dirty window concept if there was amazing environment on the other side.

This is a great take on the theme, well done. Love the red letter box as a good contrast.

Better if you cleaned the window first.

Sorry, a dirty window is not appealing. Maybe if you could have focused in closer on the drops.

I like the idea but the overexposure on the drops themselves is distracting. Since I have started shooting RAW formats I have been able to control my highlights with more precision. Perhaps that would have helped here?
