As for the BM window, I admit having a foible for complex reflections, where the viewers can't guess immediately what is going on, or just almost get it. Here, only half of what you see in the windows are reflections; the upper part is a view of the inside light dome. If you need to lift any ambiguity, download that pdf document and you'll understand more exactly what is going on : http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/review.pdf. Well I found that document after returning from London and discovered another similar shot in it (p. 42). Now, I could need some help to understand the rest of your review : 1) what do you intend by a coverup job ? The dictionary says it's "une operation de camouflage" but it doesn't help really : do you mean it could be the result of multiple layer or multiple shots ? It isn't : it is one single shot straight from camera. 2) The talk of keystoning is a cop-out ? "Une excuse bidon, une échappatoire" aka a false/bad excuse, but for what ? From whom ? Does that mean you are in disagreement with the other reviewers who judged the keystoning disturbing ? If yes.. You are welcome ;-) I agree with the nit : I should have trimmed those slim lines at the top.. No it wasn't scanned from a flatbed, what you see is the limit with the unexposed border of the frame. Thanks for taking the time to comment, it has been a great week, with many comments.. Thanks to all the others again.
