Caught this reflection in the widows of an office building. Looks like filmstrips. It it not perfect but I thought it looked kind of cool.
By the way I got interrogated by the cops for taking this picture.

Cool image; I love reflections to begin with, and this is a very cool find. Dig it big time. And about the cops .... interrogated or questioned??? Hope you told them you were within your rights to take the image.....

Thanks Matt. I guess it was more questioned. They didn't give me too hard a time.

Just curious,, do you know who is resident in the building? The only time I've been questioned was about 2 in the morning and the officer was more concerned about my safety than what I was taking a picture of.

wonderful series, I love the composition. It sounds as if the cops give togs a bit of a hard time over there.

Thanks Amdrew, okmqaz42, Bambi. When I look at this I'm still confused how each row of windows can show such a different scene.
By the way Andrew, if I zoom in on the sign that I cropped off, this office building has among it tenants St John Medical, Bissel Canada, Mack Trucks and Volvo. Nothing too sensitive here and it was 10:30am on a Saturday morning.

Thanks Casil, Iggy and JAS. I did try it in B&W as you suggested Casil, but I don't think it really works as well. The different colours help make it look like different scenes. In B&W it tend to blend together more and doesn't give the same effect.

I like the three dramatically different reflections in the lower three levels. In fact I'd be tempted to crop off the top level as it doesn't live up to the same standard.

Wow, that is so cool. Love the different "slices of life" shown in each row. Very well seen and captured Asnow.

Thanks Thoughton and HBG. I'm not completely fussy with the top level as well. I may consider cropping it off.
