A reflection of my town over a glass window, while I looked far away at my city's tallest elevation. This is an original image, the only thing i did was a crop and turned into black & white.

Hi to everybody out there. Lots of thanks for your comments. This is my first time here, and I really enjoyed the thrill of the voting process and reading your comments afterwards.

I took this picture trough a 45 angle window, which reflected the city that was on my right. And through the glass there was that elevation. So both landscapes met in front of my Finepix lens.

I turned to BW because, like you noticed, the window was dirty and in color this picture was much more confusing. It really looked nice in color. Wish I can show the original to you. After reading your comments I made a different crop and it really worked a lot better.

Thanks to all for your comments, and hope to see you soon again. I think I'll join to the ALL ALONE challenge....

See ya,

Its hard to understand this photo Is this reflection in a window or what? Its to grey and flat it kinda fades all in one I think The picture would have been nice if it wasnt a reflection.

Why the black and white?

I gave you a low score 2 because the quality is really low. It is difficult to get reflection pictures right. It's difficult to figure out which is the reflection and which is the reality. If you had left it in color, maybe there would not be that confusion. The contrast is too low.

Wow... very interesting idea for this challenge. The only thing I can see is some of the imperfections from the glass, but that's tough to avoid. Nice job!

Looks very different sort of shot to me - almost like a double exposure of some sort.

Hmm... interesting. I'm not quite sure how you did this. I'm guessing from the title that it's reflecting off of something. However, I think there are a couple things that are bugging me. I think a little bit tighter crop would eliminate that blurry part in the bottom right. Also I think this is coming from the shiny reflection surface but, the sky looks smudged or smog filled? Other than that, this is a good idea and effort. I'll bet this looked cool in color.

This looks more like an underwater city than a reflection. Only one building stands above the waterline to be reflected - are the others on the opposite side of the river? And why do they not appear to be upside down, as is usual with reflections? A very interesting shot.

This almost looks like a double exposure shot can't wait to see what you are reflecting off of or how this was done. As for the shot itself, it really loses a lot in the reflection for me, to undefined and gritty.

Creative idea. I can see to where this could be improved using photoshop>with layers -outside of the challenge of course. Neat idea. :)
