Oh, this is a beauty! Not just the dancing arrangement you have teased out of the parallel objects by the wonderfully considered point of view, but the mastery of the light and reflections. The cut sign is unfortunate. Pity, because as the small red reflections low in the frame show, the subtle evidence of vivid colour adds to the impact of the predominantly monochrome scene - so it is only the placement and arbritrary incompleteness of the sign that is distracting, not the idea of its inclusion.

Thanks, yes, I'll remove the sign from the shot since it is not adding to the composition.

This makes a nice abstract. It kept me interested for some time figuring out what I was looking at. Great to have reflections top and botome and I love that you have the vaguest hint of a person in silhouette that adds to the mystery. The toning of silver and blue looks great against the black. You could possibly crop a little off the bottom.. but that is just a matter of taste.. Great shot!

thanks, yes, the crop is an interesting point, I wanted to leave some space leading the eye into the reflection.

I never knew airports were such fun Sebastian! This is a wonderful image of reality & reflection. How on earth did you get this scene without people in it.

It's a pity about the sign on the left side 2/3rds. of the way up. I think you should clone it out & I would then be thinking about 3TU.

Regards, Ian.

I debated about the sign, thought maybe it would add context, but yes, I'll clone it out based upon your critique. Thanks.

I was down low, people streaming around me, and I waited and waited until a slow moment, and there are two people in the shot, but they are in the shadows, so, do not interfere with the picture.

Strange how as thumbnail this looks like a group of wooden poles in a harbour, reflected in the water to me ... fooled me several times today.
