 This idea has been on my bucket list for a while and had a clear idea of what the finished image was going to look like and even had the staples ready (just needed to give them one coat of black plastic paint).

Sadly I'd damaged my black perspex (ok, drilled holes in it) so opted for glass on black velvet. Everything seemed to be going well and took a couple of test shots, I needed more light. Before adding more light I decided to add a film of water and thought blowing on the water might make nice ripples in the reflection but sadly only managed to blow down half of the city.

My hands are not that steady so rather than rebuild the city opted for saving my under exposed test shot. I probably won't reshoot this but if I do I'll leave more room around the city.

**edited to say.

Well, I rebuilt the city a little larger and reshot with more space around it. Am still undecided but am entering the latest shot.

nice simple looking image, very clean, good positioning, black background not so sure about the bolts but close enough for me
