    Mr. Blue Sky

    With all the reflection shots going on lately, here's my addition. In case you were wondering, the apparant blurring of the window frames are the result of shadows. I took this from a position below. Since this was a couple of floors above me, I couldn't get head-on.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi John .. it looks very surreal - almost Magritte.

    Funny, I spent so much time looking at Greg's window shot in the feature that I thought this was the same window with color. They look very similar in the brick pattern anyway. Another solid shot John. I like your colors and subject. The clouds and sky are a nice relief to all of the red from the frame and bricks ~ like a swimming pool for the eyes.

    I have no opinion on the photo but CLKunst, your avatar is really starting to get to me. Every time I bring up one of your posts, I see this little girl sticking out her tongue at me. I'm beginning to take it personally.

    Mike----Thanks. Glad you liked it.
    Cindy---I was thinking the same thing...it looked a lot like Greg's as far as the brickwork. Hope nobody gets confused.

    I like it too. The brickwork is similar. The reflection is also very nice. The panes look more like mirrors.

    Very good. Now all it needs is something floating around back there, say a balloon or something. I might also add a little texture or contrast to the brick to make it a bit more solid. Nice work
