The absence of a source for the horizontal reflection in the
foreground makes this image completely confusing to me. There are
situations where one can refuse to meet the common expectation set of
the viewer and arrive at something abstract which coheres as an
abstract in and of itself, but the standard horizontal format and the
unreflected buildings in the distance conflict with the pure
abstraction effect for me.
So my reaction is "huh?"

Yoram Gelman - Tracks Over Hill
There's not enough hill, or if you free the image from its caption,
the horizon undermines any implication of tension or going.
Art Faul -
Being advertising averse, and almost 95% advertising free in my
personal life, I am unimpressed by this sort of technical work. But
I'm glad it's paying some of the bills for Jan.
John Palcewski - Round Two
I once had an editor who spat in my face one day "I hate backs".
Faces are strong, backs are weak. There is, in addition, too much
data below the ass across the entire image, altho I do admire the
complete boredom on the faces of the men in the lower R corner.
Allan Rosen-Ducat -
Images don't have to be of something identifiable, but in this case
I'd need a clue to be drawn to exercise some imagination about "what"
in this image.
Randy Little -
Classic, and agreeable. But for me such scenes have been done a
skillion times and they often no longer evoke the "Ahhhh"s of my
youth.
Christopher Strevens - my other hobby
Spend the money on a good camera, Chris. A scope's not much use
unless you've got paying work testing equipment.
