Daniel, I really had to LOL when I read your comment on the frame. :-D
Well, I am still not over the frames. Depending on the colors I reduced to a thin black line or leave it completely. Thus I cannot promise too much for the next time. ;-) Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment!
What I do not like in this image is where the reflection is located. For the horizontal position I could do a different crop, but this does not work for the vertical position, which was a reason for the re-take.

Lightwise—and that’s what this challenge is all about—I like this image much better than the one your link, Franky, leeds to (both are fabulous, anyway); the other one, though, has one asset this one lacks: the «natural» frame. (Funny it’s me who says so, I know, being the person fighting all *designed* frames around photographs as a perversion and being glad you abandoned that, IMHO, horrible practice...) — db.

This is perfect. The angle is square, the image is muted in its tone, the sun is starting to shine. Good job! JLK

Thanks jp, Martin and Jerry! Yeah, a mini-wanna-be-Gursky ;-)
You know, we are both from Düsseldorf ... :-P

Martin, thanks for pointing on the blue line. It was the result of the fact that I wanted a fully square image, which ended up in the initial crop directly on the blue. I have changed the image to the original crop, where more is left from the bottom windows. Thanks again for highlighting!
Cheers to all! Frank

I always appreciate your images, Franky, because I, too, love geometry and structure in an image. Very nicely done... again!
Martin Polanic 10-Mar-2007 01:38
hehe, Gursky? Gotta agree, and this is another fine example! Very nice work, Frank! :)
(* nothing to critique but to poin to a really minor distraction: bottom-most row, 3rd-last window, the little streak of blue at the bottom caught my eye for some reason)

I love it, Frank. You are the master of the reflective geometric surface.
You are our mini-Gursky. ;)
