This perfectly composed shot reminds me of a Stanley Kubrick film. The placement of the central circle is wonderful and the reflection of the ceiling makes the shot. The photographer has indeed obtained perfect symmetry! The way that your eye is drawn in and then plays around creates so much to draw the viewer in. There's not just a first and second read, but a third, forth, fifth and on. Great job!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Architecture that houses commercial entities, from office blocks to banks, food stores to warehouses, may not always be the kind of building or space that you think about capturing with your camera. But here’s the challenge - to think more about this type of building, how it has been designed, how it functions, how it changes depending on the day, or time of day, and the people that interact with it in their working lives. They are fascinating places, not always easy to get access to, but a very common site in all our towns and cities. Both exterior and interior views are welcomed in this contest.

Simple and wonderful is how I would describe this shot. Round vs. square with a little clouds that only ad the the shot in a good way. It is the reflection of the round building in the square one that truly makes this shot great. The use of black and white creates a level playing field for the eye. Had the sky been blue and the buildings whatever color they are, the shot might not have been as successful.
This shot is so complex due to the total integration of a crowd of people mixed with all the reflections created by the structure itself. It's so busy that I can't help but like it. Most of the selections in this category are successful due to their simplicity and graphic lines. This image is a success due to the exact opposite. Without all the mirrors, the shot would lose its effect, but the crowd and the mirrors have been used well.
