Hi there........... I tried to post a reply to this post of yours the other day and got thrown off the computer......and having had so many windows open I forgot what I was doing at the time........ I do apologize.

I love the reflections you've captured here, I dont understand with reflections what makes the wave effect? is it the surface of the glass itself, or just the way the light hits the glass I dunno ?

Great shot........ Skippy (Australia)

very cool abstract...really like it.

anyone else have an idea or two?
thanks skippy-glad you like it

i have speculated over the distortion and i think its a number of factors that contribute to it-

it all comes down to the glass-

• how straight it was set in the frame by the glazers

• how flat the glass is-eg manufacturing differences

• differing air pressures in the building and outside(aircon and wind) either pushing some panes in and others out(concave/convex)\

• Its also an angle thing

not being a physicist i can only speculate but someone in here may be able to shed some more light on this?
