Old City Hall Reflected Photo

Photographer’s Note

Reflected on that bike mirror is Toronto's Old City Hall. The pic was taken from across the street at Nathan Philips Sq. where the new City Hall is.

Post production: sharpening on reflection, curves for contrast, a little noise for texture.

Great shot Alex, very original and well executed. The reflection is just wonderfull and I like that it is about the only sharp thing in the shot. The use of B&W works for me here.
Really well done.

Very effective shot. What I really like about this photo is how everything around the reflection of the new City Hall is a lot darker. It almost creates more of a frame for it. Great angle too.

These kinds of shot amazes me. Why? You need to be psyched up to see things from a different eye inorder to compose a picture like this. This is fun to look at but I am sure it took quite a time to frame it. Good job.

Mas Filepe, ini bagus. I like this because u could see lines and form in that direction and in oppposite way too in one frame. Kinda of opticall illusion, back- forward. I wonder, if you could wait at precise weather or other light conditon, maybe the result will be much great, IMHO mas...

Very interesting shot. I especially like the little touches you gave it using photoshop. Nice work.
