Whether there's not much left of the original image or not, this would be an excellent entry for the current contest ('Windows') and/or the B&W challenge, Rob. Take this opportunity my friend and give it a try. Think however that you'll ignore my advice. Of course it's up to you. In this case you've provided us with an excellent post again!
Edit: Rob, I see that I my assumption was wrong because you have added your post as entry for the 'Windows' contest. Good Luck with it mate!

Definitely an interesting view through this window, Rob. And I love the added bench and the decor along the sides of the window that remind me of court jesters. Good luck in the "windows" competition, Rob.
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Great window dressing Rob - there's quite a few interesting angles, shapes, textures within your image - love the view through the window - those shutters are too cool and the bench fits in perfectly - Excellent manip!!!!!!!!!
I recognize the alley way from an earlier posting. The bench is from a park down the street and you should really return it soon before they notice it is gone. The window needs to be re-caulked before winter sets in. The woman in the scene must be in love because she's walking on air. Good work, Rob, and best of luck in he contest.
