Thanks for sharing those images, B. D.

I very very much like the first image - I'm always attracted to
partial reflections and this composition is quite wonderful.

The 2nd image, however, doesn't work nearly as well for me. The sky is
just too bright - it dominates my attention so that the couple kissing
is not only secondary but hard to focus on. The tertiary graphic on
the far right would be wonderful, and should be, but the sky just
pulls - yanks - DEMANDS my attention and won't release it so I can
really see the rest of the image.

As I write this I wonder if, as a print, my reaction might be totally
different from how I see it on the screen. Sometimes the positive
illumination from my display can make much more vivid those bright
elements which, on prints, are quite acceptable.

Anyway, for this observer, the vast bright sky is too vast and too
bright so the vital parts of the image are hard to visit and sustain.
Others, perhaps less lazy, may react differently.

I appreciate the opportunity to view these!
