I was setting up for the complementary challenge and didn't like the outcome and I noticed the window light on the apples and decided to add to it. So I put the lenz there and saw the whole window. Liked it and decided to put it in the window challenge.
The soft focus is not intierly because of the lenz, it is also because the apple is a bit greasy.

I think the focus you achieved is admirable given that it's such a close-up shot without a macro lens. You are brave to attempt this sophisticated idea and complex visual - the camera window with a real window reflected in it. And, in blending the chalenges, you killed 2 birds with one stone... or maybe with 2 apples ;-) My only wish is to be able to see the room window a little more clearly. Oh, and I want an apple ;-)
Sorry but the choice of focus is a bit awkward, it seems to be in the filter but there is no way of telling since that portion is so distorted. Don´t really like the outcome, would have liked it better if the whole shot was in focus.
Not really sure what you wanted to achieve with this shot. Why are we looking at apples and what looks like a filter? Don't like the hotspot on the apple.
The image seems soft throughout and it looks like you have some mixed lighting here that varies greatly in color temperature...the blue from the natural light and the yellow from a tungsten...not that it's a bad thing, just pointing that out if you didn't know it.
Interesting, but I don'tthink this really works. Nothing feels very much in focus, and rather than the subject being framed by the window, it seems the reverse.
