    Reflections

    Simply the sky, with a few clouds, reflected in windows which have some kind of "polarising" treatment. It reminded me of a poker machine, aka fruit machine, slot machine, etc. Three blue squares in a row. Someone wins.

    I reckon you are the winner with this shot! This is a very nice image. I love the colour patterns of the glass panels, and the curves of the near white areas and their deep shadows, as well the horizontal tilt.

    I also like the presence of some cloud reflections, but personally, I find the vapour trails a little distracting although you or others may say they are crucial to the picture.

    A quick edit with the vapour trails "healed" concentrates more on the lines and structure (IMHO):

    Thanks David. You might be right about the "vapour trails" - or "moon beams", as they have been described elsewhere. I spent a bit of time removing water stains and other dirt from the underside of the balconies and didn't give the office lights a thought. Although I see them as adding depth to the image rather than as a distraction. There is probably a happy medium where I could remove some to make them less distracting.

    Your certainly living up to Paul Leiter's view of life. A well seen selective comp. I like it - with or without the moonbeams.
