I was looking at some Architecture Photos, and I stumbled upon one of the photos, and then I was shocked by the amount of photos using the same technique.
Is this photography? Some qualities are present, yet it doesn’t feel like a photographer’s shot. However, more contrast would increase the photo’s abstraction, by concentrating on the black pattern of the curtain wall, as well as strengthen the presence of the white buildings in the reflection and put them into a focal spot. I cropped a little of the left edge of the photo to make it less rookie-ish.
This seems to be a very common technique in Architecture photography for the random results it produces, a trend as any other trend in Arts, fortunately Art stands for itself.

Dark Reflection at enKlosure Jan 13 07 at 3:24 pm[...] A while ago, I wrote about Randomness In Reflections and how the technique was used excessively in Architectural Photography.
