Stillness

Taken for a dpchallenge.com weekly photo challenge: www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_results.php?CHALLENGE_ID=814

 

At first I thought this shot was a failure. I had used a GND filter on a Cokin filter holder. At 10mm the lens actually captures the holder it self and it also creates alot of vignetting. But after looking at it in my PC I realized that if I cropped out the filter holder the vignetting was helping this image by focusing the viewer towards the building and the reflection.
