In a scene reminiscent of Henri Cartier Bresson's classic and rightly-famous 'Decisive moment' photograph, a man steps over a puddle of rainwater at the edge of a street where the ground is studded with metal bolts to allow blind people to know that they are approaching the edge of the pavement. The puddle is so large that it is clearly reflecting a tall building nearby. We can only see the subject's lower legs but his silhouette is shown in full in the reflection.

It is only October but restaurants are already advertising their Christmas menus and this one is doing so on a mirrored board in the street which is reflecting the outline of a man walking toward it.

Outside the impressive Bank of Scotland building in Glasgow city centre, where the autumnal sunlight is creating patches of light and dark shadows on the towering stone columns and the shadow of a person approaching on the street bends toward the foot of one of the columns. The person is out of frame.

A man sits in a window seat at a restaurant with his coat and bag on the opposite side of the table. His arms are folded and rested on the table as he reads something, possibly a menu, while in the tall window the reflection of a brightly-lit classical building across the street dominates the upper two-thirds of the image.
