With the midterm elections going on in congress I found this shot particularly interesting. The distorted/warped glass reminds me of the out of touch views many politicians have in congress and the voter a bit dumbfounded and lost in the composition looks up to see what time it is. Time to vote perhaps? Will it matter? Maybe the prettiest facade will sway the vote?

Nice framing. I looks like the man by the clock is inspecting the reflection.

Nice photo, the reflection is very interesting in this one. It looks like it was painted there. Well done!

maybe could have cropped the bottom half of the photo, love the top third It looks really interesting, not like the rest which is more jumbled and at least too me, distracting..

Very interesting distortions in the window. I think this also would have worked had you cropped it just below the gold bar with "100 Congress" on it, eliminating the people, fountain, and extra words...to really make the window reflections the main part and focus of the shot.
