Taken late morning in the British Museum's Great Court which was built to celebrate the new millenium. Having not visited the British Museum since childhood I found the new addition stunning and it struck me as a wonderful opportunity to get some shots for both my new photography evening class and the DPC Reflections challenge!

great perspective..
this is quite hypnotic...the angles on the building really do make a dramatic impact..
tones and cotrast are spot on..very nice work...
superb composition ...i wonder a wee tad about the color balance...but perhaps the blusih cast makes it more seamless with the sky..anyhow love this shot! :)
Definitely one of my favourite shots of yours, and one I remember from looking at your husband's entry. Has a certain 'sheen' of quality. I think maybe a little lack of crispness may have cost you a higher score.
Very well done. The center of the mosaic reflecting in the window is a nice touch. Well thought out. Good color, focus and detail. Good Luck - 10 - Gotcha
I love the way the reflections fits in the window. Your lighting is really super too. I wonder what it is we are looking at. I also wondered about the title, not sure exactly how it fits. Overall a great shot. DPz

Wickedly done. Fantastic use of symmetry and lines… Superb composition – even the shadows add to the shot positively. Awesome piece of photography (10)
British Museum? I was there not long ago :o) I bet I know who took this if that's it! I love that room. Cool shot. The reflection isn't as strong an element as in some of the other pics tho.
Really cool. I like the patterns here. the reflections are great, and the lighting is wonderful. The angle and framing/cropping are great. Very nice job. 8 Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
