I love photographic reflections because they lead the viewer to look more than once, hopefully to investigate what caused the distortion, the odd lines, or the extra shapes. This image makes me take second and third glances each time … and I took the photo!<\/span><\/p>\n

I absolutely love that the St. Regis is reflecting the buildings across the river almost as if you were viewing a painting.<\/span><\/p>\n

p.s. After posting this image a few places, two people chimed in: “what if you edited this to be a square and removed the trees?” and “that looks like you could give it a pop of color!”. Now we all know people who offer their opinions a bit too much, but differing opinions can add value to our lives, and in this image’s editing, I think ultimately the image benefits from their opinions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
