There are two ways of spreading light:
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Today is architectural and vehicle photography for @juliank's daily contests. My entry is a combination of both.
Which tag would you use?
What do you see first? The car or the building reflection?
I chose #architecturalphotography for the official contest because the reflection of those amazing windows was my purpose in capturing this shot.

good use of macro and monochrome photography to highlight the macrocosm in the microcosm :)
Wish my SUV's finish was that polished to a mirror-like sheen

Great photo! My, what a nice, clean, shiny car! And fascinating windows, too!

Isn't that cool? I love it too. The car is a bright orange. ew. And, yes, I love a shiny car as well.

Well, my truck is orange! More of a butterscotch, not that you could tell under the layers of dust and peeling clear coat... lol. I'm afraid to wash it, because someone hit it last spring and one of the tail lights is literally held on by gorilla tape!
I do like those windows and the curved reflection adds some nice interest. And now I know why you went monochrome :-)

I tried to play that game morphing the words too. I came up vehictecural. Mouthful .. We are just fancy, that's all. @ginnyannette suggested a time travel contest. Wouldn't that be fun to interpret?

Looks like a time traveling car catching a glimpse of a building from a century past. Do they have a time traveling contest?

A time traveling car!! I love that!! I'll have to tell my husband....he's a huge time travel fan. He even wrote a novel about it. I'm trying to get him to put it on Steemit, but that would take a lot of commitment for the reader to get through a long book. Either that or he'll put it up on Amazon again - it needs a bit of editing but the story is awesome.
A time travel contest would be interesting - I wonder how people would interpret that via photos.

A time travel contest would be very cool. I want to see those creative entries.
Must be interesting being married to a writer. i commit to reading his long story if he posts it :)

Hey Deb! You love playing with reflections, don't you? :) A building is what I see first every time I look at this photo. Probably because it's in the center of the frame :) Nice one!

I do love reflections. Yes. I enjoy this photo as well and and super glad you like it. Did you notice the lines from the left bottom corner? Yes, I did that on purpose too. The only surprise was the shadows from the people but that just makes it all perfect. The original car was bright orange. It looks way better with the orange removed. Thank you Dan!

Such a great concept! I love the reflection I would also use #architecturalphotography and I really see the building first. Maybe it's because I don't give a damn about cars :))

Wouldn't you like to take a marker - a white one, and do that on your car?? lol.....it would make people look twice especially since the reflection wouldn't match the backdrop.

This is great, when I first looked at the picture I saw the building, but as I read your message and looked back at the picture what I saw first was the car. That is crazy! How fun. Kind of like those personality tests where they ask you what you see in the ink blot right? Great post I love the way the windows reflect as a curve around the car hood. Great photo!
