I think the idea is good, but I'm not sure it was taken from the best angle and at the best position. There are easily noticeable blown highlights at the top right hand corner of the photo. The reflections could be better, too.
I was just thinking that a reflection of a building without showing the source of the reflection looks like an upside down building. Could just be me. Interesting concept though.
This is stunning Gus !!!! I like how you are looking and finding images !!! I'm impressed !!!
Only suggestion I have is trying to obtain some detail in the large shadow area. If you are using a tripod the thing to do is making a couple of exposures. Without the second then do two conversions. Love it !!!
At times you can do just the reflection. For birds in harsh light that is the way to go. Find a bird with a good reflection with bright light ... just do the reflection !!!
Very carefully framed!!!! Well done, my friend!!! i like it. i think you could crop the top just barely enough to get the grass out and it would be a little stronger. nice job!!!
I like it very much, Gus! I think what is included in the top right hand corner is just enough to show context well....just my opinion. Maybe you could do some careful burning of the top of the concrete ledge up there. Very pretty, almost a painterly look.
