As several comments suggested, I did shoot a few images that kept the window frame in focus, but the results didn't seem as good as this shot. Regardless, I'm quite pleased with my final score and thank everyone for their votes and the great comments.
Very nice. I would have preferred the frames around the glass to be sharper though. Would that have been possible using a tripodand the smallest aperature?
Very good idea... You should do a second shot but this time focus on the COOL window (the beveled glass and lead frame, etc.). Imagine how much better that would look! The focus does NOT have to be on the flowers at all here, and would serve as blurred color for the window frame. :)
Very creative shot! I really like the use of the glass. The contrast is a bit high - I sort of wish we could see some detail in those colorful flowers, but a very good shot overall.
