[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a wonderful photograph of a modern office block situated on the north-western corner of Plaza de Armas in Santiago, Chile. I rather liked it until I noticed it was ruined by the reflection of some awful old building across the street.

Ok, I jest - this is actually Santiago's lovely cathedral which I thought looked even more intersting when I saw it reflected in the glass sides of a skyscraper on the opposite side of the road.

Traditional meets modern; old interacting with new... whatever you want to call it, I quite like the effect! :)

Have a nice weekend,

Rich

I like the effect, too. This picture has an interesting meaning, and the detail is fantastic, too. Good idea and interesting picture!

Hi Richard, because of the angles of the new building the reflections have been distorted,and this is what makes your shot work so well.
There is good definition.
Well observed, tfs,regards Jean.
