We were on an open-air bus tour of New York City when we drove past the Pierre, a Taj Group hotel. 625 views on 3 July 2011.
It was late June (2010) and a bright, sunny morning, so when a vehicle came up on our left, I immediately leaned over the edge of the bus and shot a frame of the hotel’s facade and the fluttering Stars and Stripes reflected in its hood, transforming an everyday sight into an abstract.
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/1250 sec, ISO 400, focal length 108mm.

Thank you for the favourite, for the kind words, and the feature, Colin. It was an instinctive shot and I had to be very quick because the traffic was moving!
What a great find! Through all the wiggles the subject is completely clear to me.
Wonderful to see this comment, Betty. My first shot was the roof of the vehicle, then I realised if I was REALLY quick, I’d be able to get an even better shot on its hood.
David…..this image turned out so great….really caught my eye!! Thanks for being a member of Post Card Style. Congratulations on being featured this week!!!
Thank you for the great honour, Elizabeth. And thank you, too, for the very kind words.

Many thanks, Sean. I only had time for two frames. One was the vehicle’s roof, then I shot this one very quickly.

It reflects well on us all… as Americans. I wish our actions did too. A great glimpse of mind and eye here.
