[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This man was standing beside a highly reflective building facade, the symmetry caught my eye.

PP Work: Curves adjustment, radial gradient fill removed from main subject, gradient map to make background b&w and removed from main subject, usm on layer mask.

Hello Dear Bill
It’s a beautiful photo and in my opinion, you took it very well. I like its light and cadre. I read your comment about this picture and I found it perfect. I give it useful mark.
Thank you very much for sharing

This reminds me the movie "Ghost" where soul leaves the body ;) that is at least what the Hollywood producers think anyway :)) it seems that his soul had enough of him so turned his back.. I love the reflection of the woman in white pants chatting across him the best. Partial b&w look leads attention towards where you wanted to be.. I would have tried to clone out the man & the woman in line with his neck and leg though.. nice catch Bill..

The partial desaturation looks very natural here; it took me a while to notice it. Perfect symmetry in the composition. You have an eye for urban shots, Bill!

I agree with tournesol, you have a great eye for urban shots.
I love the symmetry in this shot, and the girl in reflection.
The background i didnt notice was B&W until i read your notes, well done, great shot. (was it taken in Martin Place?)

Hi Bill,
Well seen my friend. Good all day capture nevertheless excellent executed! Photo needs maybe a bit more brightness(IMHO)anyhow, the effect is superb. TFS.

Well done!
