Happy Monday, mobile photography challengers! Here’s my entry to Sally D’s challenger’s choice, taken a few weeks ago on a fickle summer’s day, when the sun dodged in and out of the clouds. The reflection in the mirrored surface of the Urban Institute of Contemporary Art (UICA) in Grand Rapids seemed to contradict the sky overhead. The contrast intrigued me.

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day. Reflection in the UICA, Grand Rapids, MI. Shot with a Samsung Galaxy S5.
A technical note: I used the Pro HDR camera app to take the photo and then brought it into Photoshop to crop and straighten it. (I don’t know about you, but my photos are rarely level! I always have to readjust them.)
Have a good week, everyone.

Patti, cropping is a frequent tool that I use too. Reflections in the urban landscape always seems to open up the space and give visual treats as a response, which is what your capture does. Happy Photo Challenge.

Thanks so much, Cindy. My son is a photographer and I’m learning a lot from him. Do you think I ought to crop out the edge of the building in the top right? I cropped some of it, but I could do more.

Cropping is so useful, Patti. I use it often. I like all the different lines and angles you captured in your photo.

So many nice lines and angles; and I love the reflection of the sky in the wall of windows. I too, always have to straighten out my photos in post processing no matter how careful I try to be when I shoot.
