I like how it gives you the impression of depth while simultaneously being a surface reflection.

Merci ....I used a 150mm on a Hassy .... tried to find the right spot on the reflection > to show the depth of the Arch without a extra wide angle ...  Glad you caught the vision ~!

It's always a difficult challenge to capture the beauty of modern architecture - in particular if the building is well known. For me you've mastered it well. There's one thought (not a critique at all): The vertical lines of the reflecting wall of windows are not totally perpendicular. I used to correct this by photoshop but then I've learned that this can easily be overdone. Now I believe that slightly falling lines are adding some reality and tension.

I think the lines are pretty straight vertically ... on the buildings' frame.

 Worked  a view cameras for years .. so I familiar with tilt/swings.  But no way to get the angle flat-planned and retain the Arch as you see it.
  Really liked the waverly lines of the Arch ~ in the reflection ...
