took this picture while in the bar on top the reunion tower(the flashing ball) downtown. Friends in the reflection, city in the background, the reason it is not in focus is becuase the reunion tower rotates constantly, therefore even with tripod the image would not be in focus.

I can see what you are getting at but I find the reflection distracting.

I like the psuedo double-exposure created by the reflection in the window, however the people are too bright compared to the city lights. I can imagine you had little/no control over that fact though. Perhaps a more interesting (less factual) title could have been chosen - something about keeping watch over the city, or chatting the night away - especially since the challenge is about "Life" so the people are in many ways the focal point.

a bit of a mish mash but ut still manages to really show city life 6

If one of the characters was in focus this would have been more effective imo.

Like the attempt to combine the night scene with the interior window reflection; but the reflection blocks the scene + could be more sharply focused

Love the concept here, even the exposure looks nice.

I dont like this reflection, it looks like they werent supposed to be in the shot, they are blocked by their glasses and give a very contrasting feel to what i am looking at behind them. Its like you tried to force 2 good ideas into a less than average photo

Reflection shots only work for me when the images don't compete. This is too confusing.
