 This picture was taken looking into an empty storefront window. The reflection of the traffic, slightly before dusk, worked out nicely

interesting texture created with the reflection on top of the boxes.

Meeting a challenge isn't the only target - we should seek some aesthetical, artistic, technical value. This is the reason why I do not submit to all challenges.

I don't really like the composition in this one. The bridge is nice, but the traffic detracts from the shot and the bridge isn't well placed to higlight it. A more dramatic shot lined along the bridge a bit more would be better. The image behind the glass adds nothing to the shot -- I didn't know it was a store until I read the title.

It's taken me a few minutes and a bit of squinting to see the store reflection. I think the reflection of the bridge is okay, but the cars are distracting for me. It also seems...filmy (for lack of better words). Compared with other entries in the challenge, it doesn't hold my interest as well and therefore I have given it a lower score. Sorry.

A reflection, yes, but I'm afraid that the reflected items don't do anything to enhance the image; they only distract from it.

The reflection may not be very clear, but it's probably due to the material used to show reflection. It fits very well with the theme. The picture would do better with more vibrant colours in my opinion.
