I'm impressed by your thinking on this, simple idea but a very good one. I was puzzled at first as to how you managed the shot thinking you must have set another camera up or someone else took the shot, but then on re-reading the post, arghhhhhh mirrored ceiling. Brilliant idea.
The whole thing works very well with the shadow, its position and the cobbled street.
The only thing that I could suggest for improvement would be to slightly crop the bottom on this one to take the curve or reflection of what must be a glass wall away. As this is slightly distracting.
If you could re-shoot then try to get the cobbles to run horizontally even across the picture (maybe even trying a landscape attempt). This might even remove the other shadow that is looming behind.
Thank you all so much for your comments. Snaphappy--I like your suggestions--only problem is that this mirrored ceiling is in Barcelona and I don;t think I can return there by September 19th. I was on vacation there.
Second problem--I just noticed; this photo is not "fresh"--so it will probably be disqualified. Sorry Andy, didn;t read the "red print" until later. Thanks for your feedback anyhow.
