I don't think I can ever praise your work enough Bob, I have become one of you bigest fans and show your work to everyone I know
One thing though, I think it would add to the entire piece to alter just a bit so her nose is all pushed-up against the glass??? (maybe even the eyeballs just to make it hilarious)
Actually, not an alteration, but rather a second rendition....

Your humble worshiper

Thanks for the comments!

Although her nose isn't really pressed against the glass, it is touching a bit. Her hands I know would be presses - the little nose press was last minute addition.

I tried for the effect of having things reflected on the window - there's trees reflected at the bottom.

A bit of her breath fogging up the window too.
