Yet another reflection...

Very nice, Cem. The angle at the bottom right is quite unexpected. Have you considered moving your watermark a few pixels to the left? Silly I know, I can't help myself! :-D

Great image, Cem...
I totally understand you including the detail at the bottom of the image as a reference but it also works by losing that flash of detail, and so creating some wonder because of that wood-like surface looking like an interior wall...Great, nonetheless.

Thanks Paul, you have totally understood my dilemma with this one, lol.
This is actually one of the few images I've posted before I was convinced that it is a) good enough and b) processed to my satisfaction. The usual lack of reactions, you and Maggie excluded, have made me think that it probably wasn't interesting enough. Glad to hear that you two have enjoyed the picture. Thanks again.

Cem,

I've liked this since you posted it and have been holding back, waiting for other examples of this bold rectilinear architecture that depends on the mirror finish to complete its geometry in novel ways each day, a new version.

The lack of perfection in glass of this massive size, it being always curved to some degree allows for abstracting what's seen in the reflected image.

I hope more examples are added.

BTW, do you think that the wood is plywood to be covered or else the finished surface?

This is the one I was thinking about, Cem. If you care to brave to scrutinizing eye of Asher you might like to comment on this one. You know I like to hear you 'talk'.

OK, I'll talk. But I need a guarantee that there will be no prosecution! Just give me a little time to gather my thoughts please.

I would have reacted before if I had noticed the picture. Maybe the title turned me off, I don't know. In any case, it is a brilliant picture, and would not work without the bits at the bottom and right-hand side indeed.
