So I went downtown Lansing to shoot. Trying to steal Toocools idea of getting a reflection of the capitol :-) I'm on the way back to the car, I had parked in the ramp across from the capitol, and was checking out the view from the 5th level, and saw this scene. So I set up and hoped for some people to walk by, and along comes this guy in a black suit. Sweet. My wife was happy, she says I've shot the capitol too much lately.
I played with cropping a little out to simplify the image, but I just kept feeling that the full crop worked best, so I went with it. Guess we'll see how the voters feel...
In ps-resized, a little usm, auto levels, selective color adj, and a little levels adj.
Thanks for checking out my pic :-)

69 out of 365? wow.. i took one look at this, with the title added, and expected it would be top 10 for sure. maybe the 'reflection' is too far from the subject car and people didnt bother to notice it? sometimes you have to make things painfully obvious for voters to appreciate it.
This is way, way, way underrated; I can't believe it didn't get top 20 or even top 10, if only for the layering of reflections here. Wonderful image, tater!
i like the sharpness of the colors in this image, but am not as thrilled by the amount of car reflected in the image. the reflection in the window does not hold dominance as focal point for me.
This is one of the finer realized shots in this challenge. From top to bottom, this sustains interest, rewards investigation and holds its balance throughout. Bravo! 9. One of my top ten picks
Something about this I like...perhaps the fact that the reflection isn't so immediate...such as land to sky, or building to across the street. Instead, it's considering a reflection from above, as if observing a turtles running around in a shoebox.
Such a releaf from all the photos of autumn colors, landscapes, eyes and sunglasses reflections. I like everything about this photo. Hope you will do very well. 10.
Dude, I think I see your camera in the cars window so I gotta score ya down! Just kidding. You know how I feel about scoring shots that I know in a challenge. I don't normally vote for them. This is another example of a shot that I have to score because it deserves it. Don't ask me what I gave it or I'll have to kick your ass! Oh and just for the record, you made my wallpaper of the day!
Kudos

PS: If you break 7 before I do I'm gonna kick your ass for that too!
