This was made on April 10, at Fort Niagara, in Youngstown, NY. The view is from a back window of the building pictured in my submission to the Wheels challenge (See: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=68276).
The lighting was low within the building, and I didn't want to use flash, opting instead to get the transparent effect from the cut glass in the window panels.
I selectively tweeked levels and contrast in each of the highlight areas, and did a little cloning out of defects in a couple of the window panes.
Thanks for voting, looking, and/or commenting.

Wonderful shot. I love the light in this capture. Maybe some clean up near the window sill to smooth that area out. Good entry hope you do well with this.
I like the symmetry and repetition on the left hand side, balanced by the open window on the right. A good range of of blue tones too. Very restful image.
The multi colors window panes are neat. If you diddn't use a tripod, try using one and stopping the lens down so the horizon is also sharp. Nice composition.
Fantastic idea... did you tweak the some of the squares in the window with Channel Mixer? Excellent idea, it really makes the picture great. The water color is a little "off" however, I think. And the "outline" around the water kind of bothers me.
Beautiful. The stained glass in the blue colors really accents the view nicely, and the light coming in on the open half of the window panes is very pretty, too. I'm not sure what to think of the actual view being out of focus, as opposed to the window itself, but since there's nothing specifically out there except water, I think it's enough of a view to give you the general impression of what you're looking at, and that's probably enough.
