Challenge 337: Upon reflection
A rather technical Challenge this week. This building is the headquarters of Quark in Denver, Colorado. Except it isn't quite: there's another building across the street which is reflected in Quark's mirrored windows. I've taken out the reflection, and your task is to put it back in. The building reflected bottom left should give you a clue to how reflections in this glass work. Next Friday, I'll show you the original photograph so you can see how close you got. High res is here. 
The building across the street is here. Bear in mind, though, that I photographed this from a different angle to how it's reflected in the Quark building: the two are, in reality, parallel to each other across the street. Good luck! |

A great banner Sutex, using the lettering as roads is a neat idea. |

Here is my first try, can't quite get the distortion on the glass right, but will probably have another try later in the week!  |

I also had problems with proportions and correct glass distortion, but hopefully this is at least kinda close....  |

I've probably got it all wrong..but this is mine. Try as I may, just couldnt get the image of the apartment block to work for me. My excuse is the 43c days we have been having here in Sydney

Re: Challenge 337: Upon reflection
OK, I give up. I can't get the colours how I want them and I think I have overdone the distortion in the reflection but it will have to do. I think Iwould need to start all over again - and I don't have time now. It is a very challenging Challenge.  _________________ Man cannot change the direction of the wind but he can adjust the sails |
