It is amazing how a simple vantage point shift can tell an entirely different story, Mo. This image puts Napoleon into the present. You make him seem as if he is bewildered and out of place, confused about what he sees. And that is because of how your vantage points affects the reflections. When I got down lowand shot up at this same window from the front instead of the side, I got a mass of clouds as reflection, and moved him from the present day to a spiritual realm.

Each of us has told an entirely different story by shooting the same thing from different places.
