not sure I like it but

You should like it! It's really nice! Very different from background to foreground in terms of feel and texture. Although, personally, I would've increased my depth of field and made the background in focus. It seems like the window is your personal frame for what's in the middle, so it seems that it would be important to have that in focus. But it's all subjective! If you're happy with it, that's all that counts!

thanks everyone for the comments. glad that the overall thoughts are that there is potential.

Casil, I like your idea. will have to get out there and try to get one of each season.

Web glad that you like it.

Jake I don't think I can get the scene in focus given the nature of the glass. It wasn't deliberate to make it fuzzy. It is a neat idea to have that clear and the wood fuzzy but it might involve removing the window, which the owner might not approve of but if you stand look out I'll give it a try.....

I think that this is one of those places that I will keep returning to and trying all sorts of angles.
