Empire State Building, NYC. Reflections have been of ongoing interest for me; especially in puddles. This particular reflection caught a lot of nice contrasting elements. I especially like how the building fades into the orange painted pavement.

Probably one of the best reflections I have seen on VB, well spotted!! Looks like a very oily puddle! Great capture :)

That water would have probably tasted horrible....;) it was shot a few days after but this was just one of those puddles tainted by car oil, the reflection of the trees losing its leaves with one of them caught in the puddle, the dagger like shape of the puddle, the red orange line, this massive tower built during the 1920's viewed by looking down instead of up. It was just a chock full o nuts, eh?

I love the reflection, especially focused on the tree full of birds. The red mist is coloured hot and resembles fire and points to the top of the building. It is a mystical mixture and means different things to people. The swirling water around the top of the building appears as looking from the bottom of the ocean through the surface. This gives a perspective of the building striving to exit the maelstrom beneath.
