  1. OMG. Your image caught a colorful happy place serving popcorn and ice cream juxtaposing with the fire debris of a disaster that happened to it. Your moment in time caught the woman looking in gasping, giving your viewer the humanity and emotions that were also taking place at the scene.

  2. "Reflections" reminds me of Weegee, the photo journalist of the 1940's who caught people's reactions at crime scenes and disasters on his 4 x 5 Speed Graphic camera, snapping his images in black and white. In contrast, this image holds interest with color - the yellow tape and orange cones, keeping the looky loos at a distance, all composed within the reflection of the disaster.
    You've captured emotional and interesting "moments in time" to show your audience what was happening in the aftermath of the fire.
