    Like this a lot AE but the white car vies for your attention, I think this could be cloned from an otherwise nice shot.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: Art

    These kind of reflection shots can be very effective and this one, I think, is generally pretty well done. It puts the art gallery in the contextof a busy city very nicely. The effectiveness though is rather dependent though on what is reflected (passing vehicles, people, etc) and I think I agree with hminx that the car is probably more prominent than it needs to be - perhaps you took a couple of shots? Or alternatively, pull the car back a little to make it less eye-catching.

    Even so, it's a pretty solid job.

    Cheers

    The Bust reminds me of my time at Shepherds hospital as bust like these were all over the place. I agree get rid of the car and make a good shot great. Nice eye.

    I do think the white car distracts a bit from a very cool shot

    Re: Art

    I agree with most who have said that this is a very very good shot and the white car is a distraction.

    One part of the photo I especially love is the upper half showing the reflection of the background building and tree. It blends in well, and makes it so special.

    In addition to cloning out the car, I suggest about also some cloning in the middle section of the image with your reflection (the part between the two head statues). This is to achieve an even cleaner image with even lesser distraction. But I do not know doing that will make the photo less real because people will be asking where is the shooter's reflection?
    Maybe still do the cloning, but make it more subtle so that your reflection is still there, but less obvious.
