I'll post a link to the in-camera version in the first comment so that you can see how far we came here :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Sunday wherever you are :)

This was very easy to do: just added a Gradient Map adjusment layer. This maps greyscale tones on to a colour gradient (so each grey value takes a colour from the appropriate place on the colour gradient).
The fun is making the gradient to fit the photo :)]

This is the "straight" version in monochrome for my 100x monochrome project.

Converted to mono in Silver Efex, carefully balancing brightness with reduction in structure to add smoothing.
Some selective brightning and darkening to add interest to the tone gradients. Slight dark burnt edges all around.
Light copper toning.
FInally back in AP sharpened with Unsharp Mask and removed some cobwebs and plaster imperfections.]

Every morning, while staying in this rented cottage, I’d wake up and look at these patterns of light coming through the blinds onto the ceiling: pretty patterns - tonal gradients and interlocking shapes.
You’ve seen another image of the window before from a previous visit (see flic.kr/p/259EUfK ), but that was a much more romantic shot rather than this geometric minimalism.
So later one day I went back, shut the blinds again, and shot dozens of images - I discovered it’s challenging to compose this sort of shot. You need to find the right viewpoint and create enough space around it.
The thought was that it might make an interesting abstract. And I think that worked out about right. I’ll publish a monochrome version today (along with a gradient-mapped retinal challenger).
I also imagined that if I threw the image at a mirror filter it would produce an interesting result. That didn’t work out. The best I could get was little more than what looked like the tiles in a rather dingy bathroom… Ah well: learning took place.
My next attempt was to build an image by flipping, merging and blending. That eventually yielded something interesting and it’s the one I have posted on the Sliders Sunday group today.
All the colour was generated from the photograph, though at the end the result was a little grainy and had a discordant yellow cast in parts. So I strengthened the colours by steepening the ramps on the A and B channels in LAB mode and then tweaking the B channel (blue-yellow) to get rid of the yellow cast.
The final tweak was to use a Bilateral blur filter. This is an edge-preserving blur filter (which sounds like a contradiction in terms!) and is very useful for getting rid of noise (like the graininess here) or producing painterly effects.

Duplicated original image layer; flipped horizontal and merged back to first layer with Lighten blend mode at 100% opacity.
Merged result to new layer. Flipped vertically and blend back to the original Difference/100%. This gave us the final symmetric result.
Merged result again to new layer as before and merged this back with the underlying layers ussing Screen/100% to increase contrast.
Merged result to new layer and blended back with Negation/100% increasing contrast in a different way.
Bilateral blur to remove noise and smooth colours.
Curves adjustment in LAB mode to strengthen colours and remove yellow cast in some areas (see text).]
