Hello Vandana,

The clarity of this shot is what struck me first!
Even the reflection has great sharpness - were it not for the slight rippling, it could been flipped in Photo Shop!
The light is just right, creating soft shadows.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Merhaba myfriend Dear vandana...
Good composition. Very well captured and reflections...bravo..selamlar...

Hello Vandana
Asuperb capture here that represents the title perfectly. A clean sharp image with excellent detail and colour, you have used the line accross the top of the building and its reflection to bring in a natural style of framing and then your own frame enhances the shot perfectly.

A lovely image

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Hi Vandana,

A beautiful contribution to the theme, interesting multiple reflections, in the windows and also in the water.
Beautiful colours as well.

I'd probably have cropped off the topmost part, Vandana, the brim I mean. Apart from that, spot on for the theme. Nice colour saturation and a lovely reflection as well.
TFS

Just great. You have the most reflected photo from the ones I have seen
Great idea

Hi Vandana,

A beautiful and very neat and detailed shot and the colours in the reflection are even richer.
Just lovely!

Have a nice WE and TFS

Hi Vandana,

This is an awesome theme for the reflections. I love all of the interesting detail of the photo which we get to view twice because of the reflection! I also think you have done a terrific job complimenting the photo with your interesting frame.

Hello Vandana,

You captured very well the momemt . Great to have included pedestrians to add life in the scene. I like how the reflections are balanced compared to the actual scene. Too often , the difference in luminosity is much bigger.

Well done.
