 I was sitting on a park bench hoping to get a decent candid shot when this guy came by. Before I saw down I chose this bench because the background looked interesting and I figured I could frame my "victim". It turns out the reflections steal the show. I can be seen in the middle panel towards the bottom (double image), and the building on the left is a Montessori school that's way off to the left.

Ken, this is so awesome! Yes, the reflections steal the show, but I think without your street victim, something would be missing. For me, it actually enhances the reflection, almost as if that stunning, striking show is afterthought -- and what a beautiful afterthought it is!

I love street photography -- and this one is reeeeeeeeeally good!

I agree w/the others. You could get an endless series of candids here & I hope you do. Your subject looks kinda like he's looking in the window at your reflection.

Ha! I see you! lol What an interesting location! It almost looks like each pane of glass is reflecting a different scene. Keep this spot in mind for a future challenge! ;-)

Wonderful location for a candid setup. I've often thought of doing this with a tripod and a remote so no one would know you were taking the shot (you could sit a few feet away). This guy looks fully engaged in his thoughts. Great shot, Ken.

Killer composition and you get extra credit for the inadvertent self-portrait. If this place is close to you, it might be interesting to do a series at this spot -- snow, changing leaves, etc., or just different people doing different things.

REALLY GOOD. Love the natural framing and the reflection of trees against the starkness of the building. Wonderful composition and colors. This is a keeper.

Yup. Those window panels are full of interest. I have enjoyed staring at them.

This turned out great! You could have cloned yourself out, but then this picture might disappear in some creepy, Dorian Gray-esque kind of supernatural event. :) Well done.

great shot and your victim has turned into a great candid .. the reflections are excellent .. the windows form wonderful panels that act like inner borders and the orange building the outer border .. well shot .. its always good to see the photographer subtly ensconced in his picture !! .. ken the wally !! .. oh .. i think it's waldo in america .. !
