This is a reflection of autumn grapevine leaves on a bedroom window taken in late afternoon light. I took a long time to position the camera on a tripod to create a balanced composition of the reflection and my daughter.

She loves reading, so the frown is one of intense concentration, not unhappiness.

Not a double exposure! Taken with Velvia and a Nikon F4. Scan by Jeremy Daalder.
