Hi, I barely know how to use photoshop, but I think I've reached the limits of [my beloved] picasa for these pictures. Don't know how to show off the weirdness of the top picture, and it's a little hard to tell what's going on in the bottom, there isn't enough color contrast. Any suggestions?

rowan,

First one seems familiar (a camera phone photo from earlier this year), but second is unique and postworthy (a fun edit if ever there was one). Suggestion? Experiment

Hi,
You have provided two very interesting and unique reflection photos. I am not sure what you want to achieve when you say you want to "show off the weirdness" of the top photo. Can you elaborate a little more here? Just guessing it appeas to be a reflection from a building with mirror-finish glass. The bottom one loks like it was taken of a light fifture in a large facility where you had to stand under it and point your amera upwards. Again, I am not sure what you want to achieve with colorcontrast here. I played with "color replacement' in Photoshop and made a few changes but I don't think that is what you are after. I'll be happy to help with a little more info.

a familiar site since i live nearby

not really sure why i'm not captivated by the first one. i'd either like to see more sky or more ground. i guess it's that we're not really looking at anything. aim for a reflection of the city on the west side of the bean or something with some interest.
as far being inside and taking a picture of the 'roof' like you did in the second pic, i always do the same, but never seem to take away a picture i really like. so i don't have any suggestions for that. LOL!

not like this is a real good picture, but it gives the viewer something more interesting/captivating to look at in the reflection
