Perhaps it's unwise to enter a cell phone shot in a Landscape challenge. This is the Chicago skyline reflected in a puddle on the roof of my office building.

This is a puddle on top of an air conditioning unit on the roof of my building. The "desolate" space between the edge of the water and skyline is just 3 or 4 feet from the lens.

"This is a puddle on top of an air conditioning unit on the roof ..."

I'd have never guessed. Wonderful capture.

Such contrast in landscape, bleak with a silver lining

Interesting that the water line is so barren near the city.

Nice skyline and reflection. I don't think the water has enough interest to assume 2/3rds of this photo. What do I know......?

Very blue shot.
I like the city line in the shot. Nice shot.
Bumping score.

Definitely! When I look at it I think 'desolation in a big city'. Usually I see pictures of it with colorful night lights, and inviting night life. When I look at your picture I feel like it's more real. A depiction of city that somewhere there is full of people who feel alone in a crowd. Maybe that's not what you wanted to accomplish with the picture, nevertheless I love it.
