This would have scored higher in my opinion if there was not as much going on. I don't know if you want the viewer to focus on the figure in the doorway or the reflections of the people on the street. A polarizing filter can help with reflections in the future.

Good luck in this challenge!

Something strange is going on here, but I just can't figure out what. Nothing is in focus.

You should be proud of this submission - I think the title might help but I wish that it wasn't there ... Since this became something altogether new when you photographed it. i would like to see the black spot on the center bottom removed - but overall this is unique and a bold submission. I was trying to think of an alternate title .. no such luck - yet. 8

Fantasy at its best, well done.....

to enter a picture of a poster will get you comments like mine...

I don't know if the reflection is part of the poster or part of your picture, but the poster is the main subject and that is a violation of the rules....

Quite thoughtful and almost eery.

Reflection from a movie poster behind glass? Interesting concept.. original, but not particularily fascinating.

what do you mean New York style? I not sure i get what you are thrying to convey here. Is there a reason why there is a relextion?

Very nice combo of reflection and ad. I like it.

Interesting shot, done with reflections I assume? I think it works well overall, although it could be a bit sharper.

Looks out of focus

That you managed to pull this off without revealing your own reflection reveals your skillfulness and attention to detail.

Interesting use of reflections ... quite lovely.
