The reflection and the building it has fallen upon look so different in the architecture styles. It provides a nice contrast.. I donot understand the significance of your title though.. 'Wanting'?

@Nishana Minhaz: Thank you for your comments. Making a title for my photos is distracting for me personally. I think everything is open to personal interpretation and subjective to our emotions, thoughts, and experiences in life. "Wanting" was a feeling that I felt before I took this photograph. I think for me I saw a building reflecting what it wanted to be in an older building style. Also that lone person walking. They could be considered as "wanting". Also I photograph because I want to satisfy my eyes.

this is an especially interesting reflection photo. it seems as though the reflection of one building becomes a part of the other. i really like it.

The lone figure at the base of one of the columns is the guide to the immense size of this building. The reflection initially gave me the impression of a double exposure until I examined the image with care. Great composition and exposure Matt. I like it very much!

Strikes me as a kind of evolution or even competition between the buildings - the lone walking figure is insignificant in the epic scale of things. Fine thought-provoking scene.
