 So, I came across this box made of a glass like material and figured, why not?

I will definitely try to get the original if requested but I am with limited internet access and it will be tough.

DNMC? Speed voter! Look harder next time lol.

I'm betting all 13 voters who voted 1, speed voted and never came back for a 2nd glance. I hate how everything is hit or miss in under 1.5 seconds these days...This photo definately deserved more of a chance... The sheer spread of 1's to 10's shows that half looked and the other half didn't.
I gave it a 7 simple because I thought the dried up bird poop (streaks) could have been cleaned off and would have made a better final photo.


Looking through his comments for this challenge just shows how fast he voted. Such a shame too that many did like him.

Hello,
Thanks for the high scores and the nice comments. I was quite pleasantly surprised by the reactions.

The picture was taken in Venice. That's Giudecca (and associated canal) behind me. The surface is one side of a box made of a mirror like plastic. The box was the kiosk for the Macedonian entry for The Venice Biennale (a contemporary art exihibition that takes place in Venice 1 every 2 years). The exhibit was called My Sunshine. The concept was to float mirrors made of these materials in the air and have them reflect sunlight onto the ground (sort of like icarus in the Bond movie Die Another Day).
The box had suffered a bit from vandalism (cracks and such), which accounts for the streaks and the splatters.

Again, thanks for the reactions.

Nice take on the song title, image is rather warped, like your humour! Good effort.
