color corrected, color balanced, adjusted for brightness and contrast, and sharpened only. I love the way that the combination of motion and reflection give this shot the look of a composite.

Thank you all for your comments. It is interesting for me to see the split between commenters. You loved it, or you hated it. I'll continue try baffling you all in the future! jajaja
Suspected that you would get hammered with regards to points on this one. I still like it, for the same reasons as before. I agree with uberjuve's comment to some extent. The composition takes this photo one step beyond the "normal" photo hera at DPC.
The people don't understand what their supposed to be focusing on are essentially photography's version of trailer trash. These people have no imagination nor sensitivity. They simply regurgitate the images that they have already seen a million times. I loved your photo. I don't think people realize how difficult it is to pull off such a photo and how interesting it is and how it goes beyond pictures of a bird with a beak and into the realm of fine art. It is something that is to be appreciated and taken in small sips, like the finest of wines. Congratulations once again for such a fine work of ART.
Hmmm - I think you'll average scores for this one. I like it, though, because it a great snapshot of a reflection of urban reality. It's far from perfect, but I think you are on the right track of capturing something interesting.
