Photographer's Note
Market St Reflections
Time for some reflections again. I found this photo in Market Street, a major thoroughfare in central San Francisco. These reflections are located close to the end of Market Street, near The Embarcadero and the San Francisco Ferry Building.
The tower you can see is 101 California Street, a 183-metre tall office tower, completed in 1982. The building that is reflected is the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. General Office Building, which was constructed in 1923-25 and designed in Beaux-Arts style.

C'est curieux et amusant de voir la dιformation (reflets) des parois vitrιes qui semblent vouloir porter atteinte ΰ la beautι du passι.
Bravo pour cette trθs originale composition.

Hello Lars,
We never tire of reflections! Somehow, they add movement, perhaps by their distortions, or they take on a new presence, or they are just look incredibly artistic.
This recent example immediately struck me as a row of dancers; the pillars are like legs (maybe not the most elegant in shape) and are performing in unison!
It is, as always, a very well composed photograph/
Thank you for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Hi Lars
I wish I had more time to spend in SF, looking at your latest sets of photos, you captured some excellent building shots.
I think we'd have fun here! its cool how the reflection goes down from left to right like a cascading waterfall :)
love the subject content and distortions are A+
cheers

Hello Lars,
I like the repetition of patterns and shapes reflected in the shiny glass facades of the high rise office buildings. Good sharpness and tight framing. Tfs!

Hello Lars,
These distorted reflections broken up by the window bars are really quite fascinating. The image is pleasantly illuminated and benefits from excellent colour contrasts and very good clarity.

Hello Lars,
On TE it's always time for reflection. It's a popular theme and this photo tells us clearly why. The shapes of the reflected buildings are funny and attractive and yet not totally distorted. Whoever knows these buildings will recognize them with a smile. It's a well taken photo, but as always in these cases it's really the observation that counts most of all.
Kind regards,
Gert

good sample of reflections distorting the classic shapes of that faηade and framing it inside the grid of the windows of the modern building.
take care

Knap gespot en mooi gerealiseerd, Lars. De opeenvolging van zuilen in de reflectie benadrukt het repetitieve patroon. Mooi!

Hi Lars,
The reflections on the windows are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the reflections. The light is very good. Have a nice day.

Good evening Lars and thanks for your supporting critique.
This reflection was superbly taken with its timing, light condition and the scene it offered. A marvelous sharp outcome, the mirror wonderfully shows the pillars on the opposite facade.

Hello Lars,
Spectacular composition, with these magnificent reflections, which gives an unstructured image of the buildings reflected, with a beautiful optical effect.
Magnificent color, which gives great strength to the image.
Very good brightness and perfect sharpness.
Well done. I like very much.

Very best regards.

Hi Lars,
a great composition here, I like the good graphical effect of these reflections on the glass facade of a modern building, where we can see a beautiful architecture of the twenties.
You've reached a high quality level in this powerful image.
An excellent job.

Dit is toch wel heel uitzonderlijk: een fantastische spiegeling die ik heb gemist. Ik weet niet meer waardoor ik was afgeleid. Gelukkig dat jij beter opgelet hebt.
Schitterende foto, natuurlijk.

nice the view of the created reflections of the tall office tower on the glass facade of the old General office building.
I like the clarity as the sharpness of the reflections.

Hello Lars
Another superb reflection shot. Despite the distortion, we can get a sense of the beautiful architecture in the reflection. As you might know, I`m a big fan of reflections like this. The deep blue sky provided and excellent contrast. Lovely work:) TFS.

Hello Lars, I am always looking out for special reflections such as these, but with little success; I obviously do not go to the right places!
What can I say? It is perfectly executed!
Bravo!

Bem visto!
