So much to look at in this shot as my eyes are drawn in by the window frame and then lead around the pic trying to decipher the reflections from the scene inside. Very good interpretation of the topic.-alexoki

The more I stare at this the more I like it. Lots of layers-house reflection, figure, window frame, drapes, lamp, window on other side and tree outside that window. Way very cool. - John

Very good, the blue sky particularly catches my attention.

May I say rubbish:-) without the figure in the shot this would be in danger of becoming just a girls shot. The figure adds a real edge & gives the shot some meaning. Well done Mary Anne on holding to your vision against the heathens below:-)
Great shot shot I luv it.

Very nice, Mary Anne! I see you have been visiting the Big E again. Should we see if Lew is around now for another excursion? I have to agree with the other opinions, I find the figure a bit distracting, nonetheless, a lovely image! ~Sharon

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I kind of like the people there, as I think they give the photo some additional depth, forcing the eye to look into the room while being drawn back out to the reflection. As for the angle on the frame, I think it may actually be like that, as lines are not always plumb in buildings from that era. Nevertheless, I may try straightening it out in PSE.

I really love this photo, if you could only get the just the house and not the persons image in, it would be awesome. Possibly straighten the frame, and more of an angle. I love the framing and sky in blue. Really well done! - Steve
