As I have written many times, street photography is one of my favorite forms of photography. One of the reason I like it so much is because I do not know what to expect. It forces me to carefully look at the scene and find something that interest me and then translate that interest into an image.
While out walking around downtown, I thought that there had to be a photo in the crane with the buildings in the background. While thinking about it, I tuned slightly and caught the reflection of the buildings in the side windows of a big, black SUV. I immediately thought: “that’s it.” As I was framing my shot, various people walked-by and so I waited until everyone passed. I took a couple of shots and thought it lacked something—like maybe people in the foreground. So, now, I waited for some people to get into the shot. This one is my favorite.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 at 45mm shot at ISO 200, f/8 and 1/90th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set black and white points, adjusted hue and saturation of various colors and added some mid-tone contrast to photo.
Photoshop—used Topaz Adjust to bring out the details in the reflection.
Nice shot Patrick! Lots of interesting things to look at and the reflection makes it unique!

The use of the people sure seems to add depth to the photo. Glad you waited.
