Trafalgar square from a different POV.
A mirror view from a red phone both on the famous square.

I used a circular polarizing filter to illuminate the glass reflection.

CIRCULAR POLARIZER
Provides the same filter effects as a Linear Polarizer, but is designed to work with auto focus cameras with beam splitting metering. The Circular Polarizer has linear polarizer construction plus a built-in "Wave Retardant" to ensure proper exposure. The linear element polarizes the light, and the wave retardant de-polarizes it, and then the beam-splitting meter polarizes the light again for proper exposure. The use of a Linear Polarizer with a beam-splitting meter will result in underexposure.

Nice concept, Assi! I like the framing of the square in the red phone booth. I think you could tilt the picture CCW by a bit. Colors are wonderfull!
Well seen!

PS - A word about Circular polarizer - like linear, it is used to eliminate reflections to a certain degree so, in order to keep reflections as is, you can remove the polarizer or alternatively, swivel the ring to have the minimum effect of the polarizer.

very original shot!! :)

Hi Assi,
An intelligent POV. No doubt, with this flashy red we are in London. No need to see directly Trafalguar Square.
