 Bev and I went to the flower show this past Wednesday. Afterwords, we went to a restaurant on the riverfront. At the end of the meal I took some hand held, anchoring the camera on my left shoulder, long exposure images of the scene outside the window and inside the restaurant as reflected on the window. Single exposure. Not a lot of manipulation except the conversion to black and white and sharpening in raw in using high pass and USM combo on a separate layer and merging soft light. Have fun. I'm sure I may have yet again missed the point of this exercise and would have tossed this but there something about about the flow from the smoke stack in the upper left of the image that made me keep it and submit it to this challenge.

Later. Gotta weed through my shadow shots!

4 - For me, this with much more 'drama', depth, contrast, etc - would pack more punch and bring it to life more.

Nice reflection. Some people inside or out would make this stronger.

Not really caring for this, but I think it's a personal appeal thing, rather than anything really wrong with your entry.
