I changed my mind about this.. their heads are indeed required - they are on such an even level compared to their reflections. -k2

Very good again, you're in a class of your own. Playing with the browser slider here.. a crop just above the straps on the center backpack, at the womans shoulder, looks good to me. Not because of their heads as such, but the bright background building behind them distracts me. And I find the legwork here more interesting than their heads anyway. Then again.. suggesting crops to you does feel sacrilegious. -k2

I like how you not only reflected the people, but the building. Nice work. Penny Street

I like the fact the tourists are mostly silhouetted --- the reflections are the main attraction IMO. Excellent shot! shu

This is a beauty, Tom! Nice work. Cheers, -mikey

Great shot. I love how each individual's form & placement contributes to the essential whole. Then the reflection becomes a lighter repeat of the basic motif. It's like a very complex (& satisfying) piece of music. The only additional thing I would probably do in a shot like this (& it has more to do with my personal preferences than anything about the composition) is to use the dodge tool to bring more detail to the individual faces (or conversely burn them to make them more abstract). ~xray

Umm... well, it seems that I disagree with myself now... grin I like it just the way it is. (That was MarkJay who commented first.) I think it's some of your best work, Tom. The B/W is lovely and the darkness/lack of detail/almost sillhouette of the folks in places draws the eye to the reflection in this reflection challenge. Wonderful. ~Lydia

Very nice. Agree with Lydia - it would be interesting to try a "portrait" photo from low position, the reflection then could play more dominant role. Konstantin

I like your composition and the reflections off the floor tiles are really nice. I think it would be kind of fun to vertically flip the image so the reflections become the main vision :-) Markjay
