Hello Rob,
Another fine set of reflections this time with lovely cool/warm contrasts. Very well realised with excellent colours and clarity.

Bonjour, cher Rob,
Le regard tourne dans toutes les directions pour apercevoir l'image qui fera mouche.
Eh bien, une fois encore, la réussite est bien présente.
Bravo !
Amitiés.

Hello Rob,

I have to agree, there are so many wonderful reflections to find and photograph in this city!
This is a fine example; each glass panel is reflecting a different pattern, all beautifully colour co-ordinated.
It reminds me of basket weave.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Rob,
It's difficult to find original, new comments to photos like these. It's well observed and the reflections are amazing. I guess I have said that before. Some of these reflections vaguely remind me of animals' furs. I see some traces of leopards to the left. Wonderful effects in any case.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dag Rob,

Uw foto heeft veel weh-g van een abstracte schilderij.
Met het wazige en de vele vormen door de weerspiegelingen.
Mooi foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten,
John.

Bonjour Rob,

Encore une fois les reflets de la ville sont spectaculaires. Ici, ils prennent des formes et des couleurs différentes ce qui est intriguant.Très beau rendu des couleurs.

Amicalement

Hi Rob,

The reflections on the windows aree assets to the composition. The point of view is showing some details of the reflections. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colours. Have a nice day.

Ciao Rob, an other fantastic abstract painting with amazing reflections, wonderful colors and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello, Rob!

The reflections look very nice here, everything captured with excellent light, colors and sharpness! Beautiful composition! It looks like an abstract art! Excellent job!

Hallo Rob,
De combinatie van de twee spiegelende gebouwen is erg aantrekkelijk hier. Het meer goudgekleurde gebouw met grotere vierkanten links en de kleinere, zilveren vormen op de rest van de foto. Het verschil wordt nog eens duidelijker door verschillende soorten ramen die hun omgeving reflecteren.

Hello Rob, my neighbour, Indeed, New York with its skyscrapers with huge glass walls is a heaven for someone hunting for reflection photos. Another attractive composition with these distorted images in different "windows".

Hi dear Rob

Nice continuation from previous one, so tatsy reflection. The comparison of deformed reflection with clear frame on the wall is quite sharp and pleasnt to see.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hi Rob.
Fantastic composition, with these spectacular reflexes, the decomposition of the image reflected in the glass facades, creating a true work of art, like a modern painting
A fantastic photo with beautiful natural colors, very good lighting and excellent sharpness.
Well done. I love.
You enjoy the weekend.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Ciao Rob
amo molto i riflessi e credo che una città come New York sia una vera miniera per gli appassionati.
Vedo che tu ti ci sei dedicato molto e con risultati fantastici.
Buon we
Carlo

Hello, Rob,
This nicely distorted optical reflection nevertheless adumbrates the architecture of the reflecting building pretty well. In addition, you have given useful technical data which complements the visual information. Excellent way to present this edifice. A very clever idea, which has been realized by you perfectly well.
Best regards,
Sergiy

ikeharel (112521) 2016-10-30 2:26

Hello Rob and thanks for your note.
A magnificent distortion on this reflection picture, three different spaces allocated on this image.
Fine captured.
Ike

cornejo (61504) 2016-10-30 12:10

Hi Rob,
very nice new series with reflections in modern buildings. Although they present reality they are so disorientating, and this is the aspect which I like about them most.
Fantastic geometry too, and lovely composition,
M

macjake (98262) 2016-10-30 16:31

Hi Rob
another awesome glass reflection shot.
in the small thumbnail, its as if the building in the glass is trying to move from left to right, trying to escape! haha

the vertical and horizontal lines work well to break up the image and the lighting makes it super bright and luminous.
fine post
cheers

Hello Rob,

Interesting repetitive patterns with punchy light contrasts and amazing reflections in the facade of the high rise building. I like the blue skylight tints contrasting agaisnt the pale yellow. Tfs!

PaulVDV (62810) 2016-11-01 10:48

Hallo Rob,
Andermaal prachtige weerspiegelingen, ditmaal van een zebragebouw.
Helemaal links heeft die echter een luipaardvel gekregen.
Gebouwen die een camouflagepak aangetrokken hebben.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello Rob,
I like very much the soft but dynamic patterns of the reflection, an intriguing interpretation of the architecture. The colours are very delightful and also contribute to the dynamic and vibrant effect that you masterfully captured in a tight composition. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania
