captivating image. very sharp with beautiful density. the wide-angle scene provided in the
reflections are magic. the man is very bullish/'alpha', undeterred..and he is even
maybe on a cell-phone(?) almost comic! the
women are more cautious and patient..really
a snapshot of human nature lol.
very nice pic!! indeed the reflections are accurate sharp di you use the leica?or 5D?.
the accurate time of capture loads the image with a blast of perfection!

I hung out for a bit, shooting the reflection of the Empire State building in the puddle. when I was ready to leave, I turned around, saw somebody jumping the puddle, fired off a few shots and got lucky right there!

Priceless...the effect of the reflection is to divide the image. Great perspective and great composition !
