I like shooting through windows. Some reflections work for you (like the ones at the top and center of the image), others don’t. Among the reflections that usually don’t work are those where the photographer’s image is inadvertently added to the mix.
To avoid that problem, I shot with a wide lens from a bit below the window, then corrected perspective in Photoshop. A more photographically correct method would be to use a perspective control lens (known as tilt/shift or PC lenses) and shift your way out of the image. With my PC lens at home, I didn’t have the option.
One of the nicer things about the category known as fine art photography is that photographic correctness can be dispensed with in favor of graphic interest, at least to a point. Here I felt the perspective correction in Photoshop helped accentuate the rhythm of the three primary horizontal curved reflections of the straight window frames.
I like this image quite a bit. I like the textures of the pots and vases, and that of the wooden crate upon which they sit. But what I like most is the contribution the reflections make to the image, enhancing the notion of the antiquity of the vessels.
