The most wonderful thing about this photo is that it is a picture of windows reflected in windows. Fantastic!

I'm impressed that nobody told you to unskew the perspective, or whatever the term is. The diagonals actually add interest, imho. I also like that we see a roof reflected in the bottom and another roofline at the top, all still within the windows. It gives the effect of different levels, like Dante's hell (and because there is another building behind it, we never reach the sky. that's important to the esthetic of this image). Also interesting are the variations of the distortion in each window's reflection.

I like this picture more the more I look at it. It doesn't grab right away (because I've seen so many urban window reflection shots), but it does reward a longer view. Thank you!

This has such wow appeal. I love the repetition of the frames, with the consistency of colour, and only subtle gradations of difference in each. Very nice.

What an excellent find, and well shot image. Excellent inside lighting. No inner glare from within the room you are standing. Very Good Job!! Good luck on this one. Most people won't realize the difficulty of shooting this image.

I am a big fan of these. This is well done, but you should consider cropping out the bottom part, showing the roof, which (for me) detracts from the illusion and abstract effect.

I think it would have been even better if you continued the grey framing from the window panes around the entire photo, giving it a look for framed art and IMHO, I would have cloned out those little pipes on the gravel area. Overall, this is a really cool shot!

Very interesting. I like how the bottom column is not as distorted as the others, so it serves as a nice comparison.
