I know, I know - it looks like a photomontage, but it came out of the camera that way (and I have the .CR2 file to prove it).

Details:
Canon EOS 30D
Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM at 55mm
Aperture-priority; matrix metering
f/2.8
1/8s
ISO1600

Post-processing: Noise reduction, rotation and cropping, sepia tone

How the photo was taken: A hand-held grab shot through a window pane (thus the reflections of the people and lights "behind" the pane). The junk you see in the picture was sailing through, and I managed to get a couple of grab shots before it sailed out of frame.

Sometimes things just work out & that certainly did. I'd say it wouldn't look out of place enlarged & hung in a gallery.
