I'm watching this on a cheap TFT-screen, so I could be wrong, but the 
shadows still seems too bright. If you are using ambient, try turning it 
down or off, so the shadows becomes almost black.

As I see it, the window lacks a frame :-). It only has a sash. OK, I'm 
not sure about the naming of the various parts, but usually a window has 
  fixed part mounted on the wall (the frame?) and a moving part hinged 
to the frame (the sash?) in which the glass pane is mounted. The frame 
and sash could be about the same thickness (5-6 cm) but the parts, that 
divide up the pane (muntins?) should only be about half that thickness.

Also the outside window sill should slope downwards, to avoid 
accumulating rain water, that will rot the window frame.
