I wish I had taken 1, 4 and 6! And I wouldn't be ashamed of the others either.
I'd make then slightly darker.

Excellent set, I love the abstract reflections in 1, 4 and 6. Almost an optical illlusion, especially number 1.
I also like 5, nice human interest and great contrast in foreground and background.

1 and 6 for me. Like the symmetry of 1.
Its hard to tell what 6 is which I like, the image works really well for me.

Cracking set of images. You certainly have mastered that lens.

Yes, it's taken me a while to get the hang of this lens; it works well at 18mm (as good if not better than the WR kit lens), needs to be stopped down to f8 at 100mm, f16 at 135mm, opened to f6.5 at 180mm, f16 at 250mm....at least that's what appears to me to work best. It also needs the lens correction in Camera Raw, which works very well.

Great concept series, good idea that. 4, 6 and 7 for me - the WB in No. 1 seems (to my eyes at least) to need adjusting?

Thanks I-berg and Jeff+1! I can't walk past glass buildings without looking to see what is reflected in them lately, and Houston is an excellent place for this! I am gradually putting together a collection of pictures like this with the aim of eventually doing a Blurb book. From the very favourable reaction to no 6, I think it will adorn the cover

This one I couldn't resist playing with. It's been through an 8mm fisheye lens correction.
