Sorry for only now getting around to adding a comment, RK. I thought this was a really excellent take on the theme and that you did well to capture the moment. Compliments! Regards jnconradie

Thanks all. Tried rotating/cropping the picture, the people in the lower left are too close to the edge of the frame...I didnt get any satisfactory result. Decided to leave it the way it is.
Thanks for the suggestions/tips.

Yes, I thought it might be due to a photogless position. ~ Lonnit

Great reflection shot RK! The eye is immediately drawn to the people and the lines lead the viewer all around the image and back to the people again. Good one! CJ

I think the thing I like the best about this is the really interesting distortion of the people in the lower left corner. Great idea and nicely done. I suppose it'd be neat if the lines were straighter or more angled, but we don't want to see the reflection of the photographer and we do want to see the people, so there probably wasn't much a person could do about that.

Very nice. I would prefer if the grid were straight... or more angled. As I always say, if you're going to break a rule, don't be timid - shatter it, or it just looks like a mistake. :) Now, mind you, my palm shot is barely tilted. I elected to break the rule of breaking rules! LOL! ;) ~ Lonnit

hmmm...in my challenge post I had not even thought of reflections as an unusual viewpoint, but several have used it in Eligible and Exhibition submissions...I'm learning. There seems to be a story told here, each pane of glass offering its own distortion/view on a part of the subject. -Michael
