Description
Woke up this mornin'
Closed in on both sides
Nothin' doin'
I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone's foolin'
I found a way to break through this cellophane bag
Cuz I know what's goin' on
In your mind

Could you please explain why it was scrapped?

Since my gallery already contains over 200 works, I have to take the less popular one to scraps, so there will still be some proportions to my gallery.

Wow. It almost looks like a cage, and you're looking through the building at the outside, and not a reflection. I love the open window. You find the most amazing shots.

I'm not going to say this is one of your better captures, but I will still say that it's pretty cool.

Great shot - is the building on the left the same building from your "window of opportunity" shot?

very very well done. on the left hand side oine of the panels is sort of lifted up. i think this adds to the photo, like someone is breaking out of there box.
excellent focus. love the colors and the distortion the reflection creates of the buildings.

There is a joke told by the Monty Python team about a box
It goes like this.
Four well-dressed men sitting together at a vacation resort.
Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable.
Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah?
Terry Gilliam: You're right there Obediah.
Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?
MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TG: OR tea!
MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.
EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
TG: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.
MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness."
EI: ' E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.
GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
TG: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.
EI: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.
GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!
TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
MP: Cardboard box?
TG: Aye.
MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
GC: Luxury.
We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
T: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
ALL: Nope, nope..

i love the one little window on the left that's open.. that just did me in, other than the rest of it.

The way you shot it... it's unexplainable
I feel so urban and relaxed when I look at it...
Ha... I love when the sky is this blue
And I also love those reflective windows (except when they reflect the sun on my eye)... they make the place bigger oO
Now, that reflected building really catches my eye... it looks so wonderful and perfect! Makes me wanna live there
Uh.. have I mentioned that I love buildings? xP

Wow, Wonderful Concept, the colors are deadly and a definate good eye for a great idea, wonderful job

Oh cool....I wish my windows were THAT clean!
No seriously, I very much love the colors that are reflected in the windows...when I try to do shots like this, the colors come out a little duller than anticipated but you got them just right. Nice job

Great composition, I like the different sizes of windows and that cool reflection which shows a bit more life with the balconies, umbrellas and plants.
Wonderful work.

Great concept! It's the reality of people living in huge cities.
The reflections look great and the perspective is very good too. Lovely words by the way

Any closed box can have an exit...
Just perfect picture Gilad...

extremely good capture. the mirrorwork is quite fantastic, witty and funny.
one major complaint remains, though : I'd love to see this photograph being freed of the trees and other stuff in the lowest stripe of windows.
to me, it quite manages to destroy major parts of the illusion the rest of the photo creates so superbly with the patterns and mirrors.

Aaaargh!
I'm going to make a petition for the goverment of my country to force creating such glassy architectural delights near me so that I can photography clouds in boxes. I always wanted to do that.

Nice Reflection games, Gilad.
The lines, the building and the clouds create a nicely balanced image.

Lovely lines and colors!
Perhaps a small crop across the bottom. The tops of the trees are a bit of a distraction, but not overly so.

Wicked, love the vibrant colours in the reflection

this kind of architecture photography is something I do like very much. The smooth lines, the reflexions and the different symmetries is what fascinates me. in my opinion the special think in this photograph is the one box which is different to all the others. it's a box on the very left side. an opened window.
