Downtown on Glass No. 2

Another shot of reflections on an office building in downtown St. Pete. Right out of the camera. Instantly "attacked" by the 3/3 and 4/4'ers. Heavy sigh.

Not manipulated. Right out of the camera. Critiques welcome. Thanks for looking!

This looks like one of those fun house mirrors, the distortion to the shapes is quite interesting. I like the colours here the sky is such a soft blue and the building looks like sandstone. I think some of those 3/3s are being generated by idiots with software not actual people or so I have read in the forums. I know last week within seconds of posting I had half a dozen 3/3s and 4/4 but the next day many but not all had disappeared. A fine image you have captured here in spite of any ratings.

Much thanks. I was thinking about the distortion this afternoon and wondered - what if they actually built distorted buildings. Would they reflect with straight lines? Hmmmmmm.

Like the caos in symmetry...I don't think distorted buildings would be reflected with straight lines:)

Thanks for your comment and rating. Too bad that curvy buildings probably wouldn't reflect straight lines - I'll probably never know :( But my niece had an interesting idea: photograph the reflections on the buildings at different times of day, a la Monet's Haystacks. When my Nikon is back from repair, I will give that a try. Cheers -

Don't you see the monster looming through the windows? If I had been you, I would have been quite afraid. Come on! Who wants to know what straight lines would look like? I can tell you: it would have looked like... straight lines. Nice picture indeed. One could have cropped differently, reducing the "I am a building" aspect, but then this is a matter of opinion, nothing else.

Late for the party, Roger. Your crop is excellent and had not so many people rated this photo as presented, I would modify my photo per your post. Next monster building :) Cheers -
