I found the deceptive lack of symmetry in this shot interesting.. Any thoughts?

Took a while, but I finally made my 150th anniversary post. I'm amazed how prolific some people can be ;).

Congrats - 150 posts!

I like this image but I think it would be lots better if you ramped up the contrast in this one.

Mind if I have a go?

Sure, go for it, I'm open to new ideas :).

strange shot, almost looks like a catalogue from a window company rather than a real live building!!

Most bizarre. I guess one part got ren'od and the rest didn't.

Just increased contrast a tad and played with the curves a bit. At the end of the day there's not that much difference really:

Very unusual image. I like it.

Good image but if you have an opportunity return either without the reflection or possibly something else in the reflection will really make the image.

Unusually appealing image Mark :) As Lost Dingo has said great potential to have another crack with different lighting/reflection
cheers

Personally, I like the individual reflections in each window. I won't be able to change the reflections much since the buildings involved are fairly immobile ;). I might try varying the camera angle slightly to see if I can improve them a bit tho'..

Thanks for the feedback, it gives me some things to think about.

As mentioned in another thread this image required some perspective correction. I was already as wide I could go on my 18-70mm lens, so I couldn't compose the shot and crop to get the desired perspective on the final image - i had to perspective correct in the image editor. Perspective correction is a lot more fun with digital than printing film.. :). Here is the original for comparison:
