Smoke break (and hidden selfie!)

I actually took this earlier this week... I am posting today because:
(a) it was a crappy day for photo ops,
(b) I still like it and
(c) for reasons I do not comprehend, it's had a high number of views compared to most of my other photos on flickr for no apparent reason and maybe someone here can tell me what the draw is!

Great street shot

[Kerri]

I like all the reflections

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

Love the reflections.

[cheryl]

I like the selfie. In it. You look like you were peeking from. Behind the wall.fav

[Colleen]

Love the little selfie and the reflection!

[Anne ❀]

very cool reflections and comp!

[Leonie Mogridge]

I think it is all the different reflections that makes it an interesting photograph. Took me a while to find you in this one!!

[ladyjane]

I like the reflections and how you've framed this shot with the sculpture (?) in the foreground. I see you!

[☠northy]

@ladyjane Tx! Yeah - its a sculpture, but I forget what it's called ... I have it written down somewhere...

[Edie]

Love the reflections and the secret selfie. Great candid.

[Marie]

Looks like you are stalking them! Haha. Nice capture and I wouldn't have seen you if you didnt mention selfie :D

[Stacey]

slightly voyeuristic, it does look like you are peeking up on them. The reflection is way cool too.

[beachradish]

I like the selfie! Look how sneaky you are! Has a cool monochrome feel to it, too.

[Aleksandra]

So thats how you get your awesome shots! I must find something to hide behind and then I may not be so scared to take street shots! Awesome shot! Love the reflection in the building and the composition of this.

[Caryn]

Very cool. I love the cool tones and the reflection. The cool tones seem unique for street photography, so maybe that is the draw. I love the selfie...you're like a sneaky PI!

[Bobbyj]

great capture and reflection in the shot!

[Caroline]

This is such a clever shot! Fav.

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Very sneaky shot. Love it. A typical 'break' from the offices that are obviously around.

[Livia]

There you are! I like your composition, and the reflections. It's a cool shot. 8)

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Nice candid!

[Monika]

Fabulous! I knew this was a 'Northy' before I read your name. Such interesting lines and curves.

[Peter de Graaff]

Like the framing created by statue curves. Cool selfie

[John]

Cool shot, love all the reflections

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Very cool, like the tones, the reflections, the curves of the cement and the geometric windows....great shot!

[Lidac]

i see youuuuuuuuuuu northy :) !

[Lisa Pouncy]

I think this has a load of elements to it. The reflection of the little group and you crouching down. Great shot and a fav for me xx

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the reflections.

[Eryck]

i like the lines and textures of the architexture, or it could be their all blonde?

[Michelle]

Thats a really cool selfie :)

[Jan Hall]

I really love it. Love the contrasting shapes with the curves an the concrete block and the way it is divived up by the lines, and the reflections, and the ........ etc, etc

[Jenn]

Lots to look at...and I love how you're hiding :)

[Disha Parekh]

Haha the draw has to be that you were hiding behind the block and only your reflection can tell :P

[Kate Klinck]

hehe thats awesome!! very cool selfie lol, did they see you at all?

[☠northy]

@harley84 yes, but i think they assumed i was taking pictures of the statue... not sure they cottoned on to the fact that they would be in it :)

[Kate Klinck]

@northy lol thats great!

[☠northy]

@harley84 i know... nothing like hiding in plain sight ;p

[Lisa]

Great reflections and I love all the lines and the way they almost frame the smokers and their reflections.

[Ruth Lueth]

Great street shot

[Simply Amanda]

Your sneaky selfie makes it for me. Great shot!

[Jeff Walker]

I see you! I love this... all the reflections (yours included) are my favorite part

[Juliette Packham]

wow - this is awesome too - backtracking your shots this week - you are rocking these reflectons

[David]

Instant fav! I really love this one! The composition, the rectangular 'blocks', the different 'windows' the reflections, the large structure which frames much of the rest, large structure vs small people, the candid group shot, the shapes .... I even like the tiny selfie in spite of the fact that I always try to avoid getting myself into reflection shots.....it's a fantastic photograph, no question!

[W.MARK HATCH]

Love it, love the tiny selfie!
