The result is a avatar of embossment. Pantone perfect colors, with deep, not muddy blues. Works from all 4 compass points. Museum quality. Tg

"Never split a picture in half" I was told in composition class (years ago)
Well this one did - and it's brilliant.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I vaguely remember that; they obviously didn't think about this type of reflection shot where symmetry helps make it!

Superb shot. Defies some compo 'rules' and it works so so well because of it !!

Its just perfect and it confirms that rules of composition are for beginners, experts know when to break them.

Fantastic outcome. Love it to bits.
