I think it would have made a better shot if your reflection wasn't in it and some people were dining at the table. Good effort none the less!

Some times when a photo dosen't have an obvious subject it makes the photo really intresting. (for me atleast)

This photo just has so many intresting things to look at, the more you look the more details you see.

Hey, you might try a few long exposure shots in the evening with people and motion at this same spot sometime..... including you in the reflection. Could lend it self to some interesting effects.

I'm, liking that, especially the fact that your reflection, particularly your head, is smack bang in the middle of the text.

That's the sort of shot that you couldn't have planned if you tried :)

Nice.

I'm a BIG fan of reflections and go out on a shoot particularly looking for them ( a couple still on POTN- not the best, but. . . https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=120111 ). I was delighted to notice the reflection of the building you are shooting within the reflection of the white building!-- or so it seems.
I would probably play with contrast a bit and fiddle until the reflections were a bit more prominent.

nice capture from my point of view. . . more like this?

An interesting shot, it grows on you the longer you look at it.

I like it. The reflection shows a very busy atmosphere and the POI is quite dinning. We all glean a different impression of a photography like this.
