I've used a similar shot in the PAW side challenge, but I'm hoping this, being a bit different and black and white won't be too much the same.
The photo was taken at my son's wrecking yard/panel beating shop. The reflecting structure is a stack of perspex, metal and mesh panels which will be a spray booth again when reassembled. (Needless to say, more grungy than clean.) The reflected building is a small once-upon-a-time-house-now-storage-unit in the front corner of his yard.
