John, you can locate the building in Photogenix's "Hudson" over in the Pixelpeeper. It's the third from the right, or the middle of the three similarly styled WFC buildings. http://www.pixelpeep.com/view/challenge/canon/6/exhibition/viewphoto/1252009094_214 Thanks Rod - yes it's like a gallery of synthetic cubist art.

Rod This makes an excellent graphic sort of thingy a. I found heaps of Picasso type faces:-)

you definitely have a fertile environment to capture reflections, Tom. It is funny how the brain works. I don't think I used even a tenth second to find the happy face. But to write code that would find it would take a year. If I ever get to New York I'm going to look you up just to see the building you work in.

Finally the truth comes out that Tommy is a cheater. The rest of us are out scrambling to find a reflection and he glances up from his office desk. Joking aside, this is one ripper of a shot my friend. Terribly good execution too. -Doug

What you are looking at is #3 World Financial Center and yes Doug, the shot was cropped and skewed to square it up. Reflected are my building #2 WFC on the right and #1 WFC on the left. Mary Anne, I think the intricate lines are the result of the distortions in the external window pane. All these buildings have double panes with a gap of about 1.5 inches between them. The shot was taken from the 32nd floor of #2 where I work writing SQL queries and supporting a commercial loan application. tv

What an amazing shot, Tommy! It has my husband thoroughly befuddled and trying to figure out what could possibly be reflected in those windows with all the intricate lines. --Mary Anne

That was easy. Penny Street

Exceptional work Tommy. Certainly you had to crop this to get it so perfectly square right? -Doug
