Interesting. I keep moving on my screen it to crop the top because I can't decide whether that reflection top left bothers me. The bright spot upper left bugs me a little too, but I think I'm getting used to it. It's necessary that it be there and that it be the brightest thing in the frame, but maybe if it were a little less bright? I don't know - give me some time and I'll probably like it the way it is.

A good point. The reflected windows were important in the composition, but I see what you mean regarding the brightness of that far right light source. I may take another stab at processing to see if I can tone that down a bit.

Nice observation.

honestly? I am not a fan of the top half of the frame but I love the bottom half.
I love the tones and textures in the bottom half.
Understanding balancing the posts (guessing why you need the windows and the reflection is nice) . what if you cropped left and the outside right off getting rid of one of kens concerns (the light on the right I didn't like the left didn't phase me) and see what it looks like? Or maybe play with a couple crops? I do really like this though it is real clean, until you look up the windows and it kind of goes down hill. The car kind of wish that wasn't there but a little flaw can add character. Looking up the windows it seems to go down hill though as it isn't as clean as the bottom half of the frame?. first car, then window reflections, then the extra mentioned light on the right and top left. It gets messy as you go up. I love the bottom of this. lines texture shapes plus the window reflection it has a lot to like about it.
