Default city puddle reflection

A reflection of my friend taking a similar picture (from the other side of the puddle) on a rainy day in Seattle. Taken in colour - but I find it more interesting in B&W. My husband thinks I should flip it (upside-down) but I prefer it right-side-up. What do you think about flipping it? And do you see any way I could have done it better?



camera: Sony DSC-H50
F/2.8
1/250 s

Don't flip it. There is not enough of a mirror image to do so. If you flip it, everything not in the reflection will be upside down and will not look right.

To get it better, I think your friend should have been out in the street on the edge of the puddel and then do a crop with compost, with him and the buildings that are reflected sticking out of the frame.

I like the shot as is, wouldn't change a thing.

Very nice capture, Try taking the puddle, leaving it (the reflection) in color. I think it would make for an interesting picture.
