Default A bit on Edge....

I just thought it would make an interesting shot however after taking a few I see now that i need a better location....lighting....and maybe a portrait crop including the reflection...what do you guys think?

i think you're headed in the right direction with your thoughts on a portrait orientation....the reflection is just too perfect too crop out....

I only took one shot at this angle and about 20 another way and the reflection was only clear this way....I'll have to try and get a backdrop and better lighting then do the portrait shot. Seems like alot of work for just an idea of a neat shot....I guess i got nothing better to do though..LOL!

Can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to get a neat shot, lol. Always learn something from it though.
I like the space to the right, but it would be nice to see more of the reflection, since it is so clear.

It is definitely underexposed - you may need to shoot again but can probably fix that with post processing.

I am not sure that getting the full reflection would make a much better picture. If anything, I might experiment with trimming the bottom of the picture a small amount to lose the portion of blue writing, which I think would make it neater.
