Of course! It will be like using a Skylight filter.

Cole Weston presented one of my favorite prints of his, "Looking Into the
Greenhouse."

He focused on the panes, the florwal inside was behind the glass, emersed in
mist and the colors were the highlight of the presentation. The photograph
was sharp on the outside and the stigmatic virtue of shooting through glass
and in a mist was made th photograph sufficiently detailed to satisfy our
eye as to the subject, but soft focus enough to accentuate the balance of
colors as design.

When he was complimented on the print, he said he'd sold a lot of this
print; since the first day it went to the gallery and it hasn't stopped
selling (Shot in the 1954 era.)

Just some fuel for inspiration for you.
