@Matt Sutton: Thank you Matt! I will be on the lookout for your reflections in your upcoming photos. Reflections to me, an interesting perspective of what goes on around us in all directions...happy that you like this!
@HoMo: Thanks very much! I'm not sure how others see this, but there is a man in there getting a hair cut and I was hoping for that to be a little more clear. But I'm also ok with how this became kind of surreal :)

very nice, the reflection, it looks like abstract to me.

@CybaSumo: Thank you! Thank you!
I am happy with abstract, although it was not what I was trying to achieve, I can live with it :)

This world, that world - and the flat, flat world between them. Everything looks like a fiction, but everything is real. Even confused which one is which world. Very dreamy.
BTW, I just set up an electric fan just like that last weekend! :)

@browneyes: Oh! You know I never looked at it (the world, reflective images) that way, and you are right! Someone has come along and 'flattened layers' ;)
Well...I hope it's dried up enough there for you to be able to use the fan! Cheers to you browneyes!
@Baz: Thanks so much Baz!!

love the composition here -- many layers upon layers... shapes upon shapes... the reflection of the street is excellent -- and i love the depth of the blacks. a bit different style from you... but marvelous!

@dj.tigersprout: Ah, thank you so much dj.tigersprout! Yes, I try to mix it up every now and then :)
@Twelvebit: Indeed! Funny thing, this location is actually considered to be 'midtown' -- so it always makes me laugh!

But what's Tom Cruise doing getting his haircut there?

I love all of your work because a story instantly pops into my head. I swear this looks like the guy in the chair is about to come to a gruesome end. GREAT work.
