 Photographer’s Notes
• I was in down town Seattle for a meeting and caught a glimpse of Washington Mutual’s new building. At that moment the angle was just right to reflect several of the city’s buildings. I realize this is a cliché photo, reflected buildings, but I have rarely seen such a complete cityscape reflected in a single building.
• Probably a stretch for the challenge, a sure formula for dnmc comments and low scores, but I like the photo and hope you will too.

It's a great picture, it just doesn't say "shadow" to me.

I have a hard time seeing the shadows. I see reflections, but no shadows. I still rated the photo a little higher because of the technical aspect. Great capture of the reflections. I like the bluew background of both the water adn the land masses because it puts all of your focus onto the reflections in the building.

Reflection more than shadow?

I had to come back and change my vote. I really love shot, but when I look at it, its not really shadows in my opinion. Great reflection and I wouldn't change a thing about it but I had to ask myself it it met the challenge. For me no, but for you it did, so I split the difference 8. Sorry.

I tried to see the shadows, but all I can make out are reflections.
