Photographer’s Note
This is the window of a Canadian Airlines sales office in Calgary during the Stampede. The Stampede is one of the biggest rodeos in North America and takes place in july in Calgary. During this time the whole city is caught by a western fever, many people dress as cow boys, bands play in the streets, the subway seems to be horse-driven and so do Canadian Airlines planes.
This photo is not very nice, I strongly dislike this big reflection on the left, but I don't really know how I could improve it and I like very much this cow boy riding the plane !
Many greetings to Calgary and keep this western spirit alive !

Nice shot! You've captured the "wild west" theme of Alberta well here, as you say it's a shame about the reflection, but there's not much you can do in these circumstances - a polariser may have helped, but I doubt it. The bright background has led to the logo being slightly underexposed to my taste, but again it's minor. Anyway, a nice funny capture :-)
P.S. I've posted you a Workshop which I hope you'll like!
