9th Place Tie
Urban Reflections
by Helen Betts

Istanbul, Turkey

This is the lobby of my office building in Istanbul. I just started this job a week and a half ago and came back to Turkey to help with the launch of a new newspaper. However, I have been working 12-15 hours a day (more than 17 today, in fact, as I type), and this has literally been the only reflection I've seen since arriving :-)

Lovely capture, Helen! really like the symmetry and the abstractness of this shot! Ahh and you're back in Turkey? Looks like you got your wish, and a job to boot! :)

This is very effective, Helen. No need to travel away from your building to get a good entry.

Very cool image - I love the clarity of the reflection! It must be scary to walk on that floor - doesn't it look like you're going to fall in?

Helen, I love all the lines here...beautiful colors, lighting, and reflections. That floor must be just like a mirror...the reflections are so crisp and clear here...very wet in appearance. Good eye to see this, Helen...and a beautiful capture. MFC

A lovely reflection, Helen - the colors are beautiful and the thumb looks like a madras plaid. Bev
