B&W reflections

[draskol]

First DSLR, first flickr upload, first post. I've been lurking around these forums for a while and I think they're great.

What do you think of this shot? I usually think reflection shots are a bit cliche, but IMO, this one has so much going on in it that I like it. I think that something about it (I think maybe the contrast) gives it an "old" feeling to it, too. Any suggestions?

Reflections are fun to play with but I seem to never notice them until im moving on past them!
This is a bit washed out looking. The glass thats reflecting is bringing the contrast of the building down a bit. I love the lines of the light reflecting and the windows of the buildings.

I really like it. It reminds me of "12 Monkeys" movie. You know, with the black and white film, court scene, everything seems to be hanging on one thin wire. Great job with this.

washed out as in faded? is it fixable/should I fix it?

Im not sure its something that will really make it better. Its due to the glass its reflecting on. One way would fix the glass reflection but darken the rest or vice versa would create the faded look of the reflection keeping the building looking right.
If i were you I'd play around a little bit with the contrast brightness shadows and highlights and levels.
You might find a happier middle ground or find out this is the way you like it best.
