Glass Mountains
Canon 20D Canon 24-70 L @30 mm f/8 1/125
Yesterday I was reduced to taking pictures of animal crackers.
Today Chiaroscuro and I ventured outdoors to an interesting
building a couple of miles from our house. The building's outer
surface is made up of highly reflective square panels, and these
allow for many interesting geometric compositions. This shot
was taken looking up along a corner of the building. Chiaroscuro
says she will probably also post one of her images from the
expedition.

These are both amazing, so I will be leaving you each the same comment.
It really takes a trained eye to realize how to line up not only the building itself, but also its own reflections upon itself. Incredible job, both of you.
This building strikes me as one that a lot of people would overlook, but of course, to two people obsessed with reflections (and I think you have to admit that you are), it's the perfect opportunity. :)
What do you mean obsessed? ?dessesbo naem uoy od tahW
such perfect symmetry of composition. great capture.

Awesome shot !
PS : This would have been a winner in the architecture challenge on http://www.dpchallenge.com/
Apologies if i missed this entry there though.
However you would like this discussion -

your photo has more of a 'towering over you' feel which i feel works pretty well here. Great job lining up the vertices =)

That's one of two glass-panel buildings on Greenspring in Timonium, isn't it?
The other day I was in New York city with a couple of hours to kill, and while walking in the street canyons of Manhattan I tried the usual shot of the city hight rise buildings reflecting one in the other. Needless to say, all these photos sorely sucked! It is very easy to trivialize an overused subject.
Your photo, instead, is really successful and nails the theme. The alignment is perfect, and I am still baffled by the way the angles of the taller building continue with the change in color in the inner one. This is really a cool trick, I like this one a lot!

Chiaroscuro did post it also, both shots are great. Very interesting, love the shapes.

Yours has a better color composition than Chiaroscuro.
The color change showing in the lower part of the building improves the balance.
Your work does not look at all like that of an "amateur"; you've got a great eye for photography. I hope that you don't mind if I post a link to your blog on mine. I think that a lot of people who are intersted in photography would benefit from seeing your work.
Reminds me of an old electronic game I used to play when I was a kid. Nice shot!
Oh wow! what a terrific shot everything about it is fabulous! well done both of you!

Nice abstract. Reminds me of those optical illusion puzzles from school.
