Fooling the Eye

Most photos with reflections show them either below (water, floor), or from the front or side (mirrors, windows). What I like about this shot is that the reflection is above, which causes a moment of disorientation.

Add to that that it's an interesting composition done in B&W - high contrast between windows and walls, a few linear elements in the foreground, and the windows going off into the distance - and I think this is quite a good example of photographic art.
