    A walk around the Music Center of Los Angeles

    So I was downtown today very quiet, not a lot of people even, guess they were all still out of town. But I liked these three and would like some opinions on the layout, but I'll take any comments on any of it really

    First, the reflection

    Bob I like the first image of the reflection quite a bit and wonder if cropping out the cement walkway (down to the reflection of the fence) would improve the abstract nature of this image?

    Why were you asked to leave? No photography inside?

    Yes it would, perhaps I'll try that. I did leave it to give one the sense of direction, but perhaps that sense is not needed in this picture. I'll post it in a while.

    To answer your second question - your right no photographs

    Thanks

    Perhaps the fence could go all together as in this one. I think if I was to lose the portion of the sidewalk, then the fence should go as well, what do you think?

    Nice series, Bob. I particularly like your third image. The interesting color and patterns and the way it just seems to be floating in air is very appealing.

    I like the last iteration of the reflection best Bob. Now try flipping it vertically for fun -I have seen this done and it can be effective in that it a bit confusing to the viewer as the perspective is skewed and therefore adds to the abstract nature of the composition. Might not work with this image but I would give it a try if it were me.

    Interesting as to me it now looks like a reflection in a poor quality piece of glass.
