Through The Window

A number of components bring this image to what I call a pleasing conclusion. The window provides an excellent frame for the photograph, and this can be effective whether looking out through a window to a magnificent view or in this case looking in through a window. 
I liked the wonderful warm earth colours of the window frame and the complementary colours of the internal walls which add depth and texture to this image. 
The single light bulb as the only source of illumination also made this shot a little more challenging.
Then there is also the voyeuristic aspect of looking in on someone or some activity inside the window. Perhaps we can see a moment of contemplation displayed by the cook inside this kitchen. Maybe she is thinking up the next exotic dish to cook or more probably wondering when the strange foreigner with the large camera is going to stop taking photographs.
