    Default Reflecting Out In

    An architectural detail of an old church now converted to the home of the Calgary Opera. I had this idea for the window and thought I might try it. I have no real photoshop skills so kind of had to wing it. Cheers!

    Nice shot! I like it. About the only thing I can add as critique is the window is cut off ... but not CUT OFF! You know what I mean ... it looks more like a mistake than a purposeful crop/composition.

    It's kinda of trippy too ... at first I thought this window was protruding from the frame but after looking closer at the brick it suddenly looked as it is ... recessed in the framework.

    oh good, I had the same optical illusion effect and thought I might be losing it

    this is quite cool but I agree with the top being cut off.

    Very interesting shot! I like what you've done here. The illusion was there for me too. Innie or outie... it is a little hard to tell.

    very good IMHO. Only, but it's a detail, that cut of the highest part of the circle....
    Bye,
