[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As I already saw many of these pictures here on TL, I tried to do the same. But in order to get an intersting reflection, I thought I had to walk a few steps on the left. Now, the tiles of the building are in diagonal... The upper-right corner looks bigger then and catch my attention more than the windows.

What could I have done to avoid this? Or is it fine that way?
Any good tip would be appreciable.

(Cropped a little bit up and left to remove some distubing parts of the building.)

Hi Damien,
Great POV and colours very sharp. It would have been better if you had cropped more IMHO but a good effort. Well done and TFS.

Bonjour Damien,

Superbe reflet venant s'insérer dans les fenêtres de ce bâtiment comme un tableau sur un mur!!!
Cela donne de la vie , celle de la nature et donne un peu de couleurs à ce gris!!!
Amitiés

Bonjour Damien,

Intéressant, insolite c'est bien vu.
J'aime la fenêtre ronde qui tranche avec toutes ces formes carrées.
bon week end
Daisy

Hello Damien,
I like the idea of having the classical architecture reflected in the geometric window. I downloaded the image to try a workshop, but the perspective, point of view is beyond my ability to 'fix' or improve on anything. Straightening any lines automatically makes other lines look way out of proportion. Cropping out parts reduces the contrasting architecture that I see (I'm not sure exactly what your intention was). I even tried to see what the image looked like as a face, similar to this -> :-0 , but rotated 90 degrees. Nope, it didn't help.

There are techniques for straightening out lines that are beyond my ability, but I'm not sure that's what you need here. I would try taking more shots like this and see which perspective gives you the most satisfactory results with the least amount of post-processing.
I like reflections when there's either a strong contrast (like here in yours) or odd, bizarre juxtapostioning of images that exercise the eye.
The framing of one arch. style with another is interesting. I also like the fact that you asked what could be done with it!

Kind regards,
Jim (I don't have my points on)
