Thanx, Chris. I think that the mood would disappear if I lightened it up on expense on overall contrast. The picture would end up more flat, which maybe, could be recovered by adding more contrast again by a vignette.

For me, it’s sooo moody dark like it is. I love it.

Thanks a lot, Markus! Can agree on the overall darkness. At the time I edited this I thought the window became better like this. Of course, I could have made separate adjustments to the window and the surrounding area, but I didn’t try that with this one.

Fine – a lot of opposites in this image, the light/dark only one of them. What works especially well for me is the way of framing, transforming the rectangular window in a trapezoid. For my personal taste it’s a tad dark, although I know that this makes the reflection shine even brighter.
