lol it took me a second to figure out what the reflections were, then I read your description!

Great shot as always Howard. I'd even say breathtaking!

I love the colour of night scenes and the lighting...for me it brings out the life of the city or maybe shows that the city never sleeps.and talking about cities where was this taken?
Lovely shot

These reflections adds that extra element that keeps your eye traveling around your photo finding new and intriguing points of interest. This is a really sweet photo, Hayward!

nicely done Hayward, of course the element of reflection instantly catches the eye, but the depth and angle of the composition don't go unnoticed as the silent strong points in this picture.

Looks like Chicago to me.....very creative shot that turned out very well. What were doing that had you with a tripod in a bldg in downtown Chicago?? or did you set the camera on a table?

Hayward, very well done! I also like the reflections, and like others, really like what they add to the photo.
