NOTE: I had several people comment about how the picture would have been better without the pedestrian. I *so* disagree.
I took several shots, some that included more of the temple and less reflection (a better shot, IMO, but less fitting for the challenge) and some that took more of the reflection and even less of the temple. I had specifically avoided having anyone in any of my shots.
But when it finally came down to it... the only shot that I felt
was 'compelling enough to look at' was this one specifically *because* of the pedestrian. IMO, he made the shot!

Great perspective and an even better job of framing. This is a substantially well composed photograph. The strolling human element makes this all work like a fine machine. One of my top ten picks for this challenge. 9
