    Reflections - comments please

    I can't decide whether this picture is interesting or rubbish. I need honest opinions.

    Would like to see more of the tall round building and less of the car park but the reflection is very nicely lined up. Good one.

    Definitely NOT rubbish. But, there is usually a but, it lacks Pop and Focus.

    Maybe if you were to use a portrait trick of highlighting the eyes and treat the two blank rectangles as the eyes. Then perhaps bring out the horizontal 'T' in the blue reflections. Perhaps even a slight blur on everything but the reflections?

    Just some thoughts that might be a starting place.

    Thanks Graham and Brian. I did not have any more at the top but I have cropped a little at the bottom. Also, I brightened up the whole thing, especially the plain panels in the middle. I hope it is not too much.

    Hi Tony. I think your second edit made the image

    2nd edit is better and if we're only given two options of interesting or rubbish, I'm opting for the former.

    The reflections don't really stand out but the patterns and lines do. Nice effort.

    It certainly has more Pop! One thing's for sure if 10 of us give advice you will gets 12 different ideas. So let me ask you one really important question? Do you think this is now a keeper?

    Much better second version!

    Hopefully you can often return to this site easily because there are so many compositions to be made and so many lighting conditions to take advantage of.
