Clear

Robert, I like the clarity of the image, and the reflection is really quite nice. Excellent composition, and I think the lone person sitting, to the right, makes the photo.

Yes

great shot, Robert. Particularly the reflection, but what makes the picture special is the guy sitting outside.

Although

this type of shot has been done alot, this is one of the best executed I've seen. The juxtaposition of the pale background with silhouette contrasing with the highly resolved and saturated reflections in the windows make this both interesting and exciting. Nice photo!

Thank you all...

very much. I've said it before, this is a talented group on this web site, so the comments are quite flattering. This is an example of an exposure where it pays to be lucky as well as good: I actually have a "better"exposure of this reflection on the same roll, but the person doesn't have as good a pose, and someone else walked in the frame. I originally found the part of this image with the person to be washed out relative to the reflection, but as it turns out, it provides good counterpoint to the rich reflection as several pointed out. Thanks again everyone!
