52Frames Reflections Weekly Photo Challenge

The subject this week for the 52Frames photo challenge was “reflections” - either contemplating something or mirror images - whichever struck your fancy.  So we set out on the National Mall in search of something. I have photographed the Capitol so many times before so we went to the National Gallery of Art. In front of the building is a huge sculpture that was being washed by the staff. That made for some interesting images. Inside we visited the new textile exhibit. I took several photos there for my daily blog. On the outside are a bunch of glass pyramids in between the east and west building. We spent a lot of time trying to find the right angles. And on the way back to the car the American Indian Museum offers some cool options in the windows above the stream. Later in the week we were driving through Arlington and the tall glass buildings offered some interesting perspectives. After checking all of the photos there was one that my husband liked of some people observing the art - they were reflecting and being reflected. This photo was really cropped and edited - eliminating a third person and changing the overall color to eliminate distracting elements. I rather liked the composite I made of a woman taking her own photo in the glass pyramid - then adding two more and creating a more whimsical view. My husband just didn’t like it. So I posted the photo he liked and he is usually right. But I’m not happy about the entry this week.
