About your question. Glass is transparent, unless you don't see any reflections or dirt on it and if it's colorless, you won't see it.
So what you have to do is to create some reflections and the best way to create these is look at some examples around you or Google images. Dirt can be added using special brushes and opacity.
Some glass has color, so you might consider to add some some slight color if you're after this kind of glass.
Good luck and probably more members will have some suggestions.
(Btw, No need to spam this board 3 times with the same question Mo or to use a cry "emoticon", people will get irritated and tend to ignore your question and moderators have lots of extra work with locking and redirecting threads. Be patient! Don't post the same question twice in the same "General questions" forum either.

One word - reflection. Well, it's an option. Can't see what else you could use since glass is supposed to be smooth and transparent. So you could get a picture of someone's face, blur it, distort it, and place it on a level above the image. You can also try some directional light sources - like imitating the shape of light falling in through a window pane.
Otherwise you can place your image in a frame, then add some texture around it which will allow you some contrast with a glossy surface, thus enhancing it (I guess \:] ).
Oops, sorry about that folks. Had to go searching for that link and still had the message open on the unanswered post. Didn't mean to repeat what John1 said. Honest!

Don't forget that you can inlfuence the brain. The small image doesn't give the brain the impression that we're looking at glass, while the larger image does. The more realistic a window is, the more "realistic" the glass, even if you don't see it.

AS John said the trick is to fool the brain into thinking there is glass.
I did that here by adding a window frame, and on a layer above the picture I filled with a light rey and added a little noise and then reduced the opacity to get the feel of a window
