What Goes on Here?

Description

---------
It's sort of quizzical to sort this one out if you aren't standing in front of it. These huge violin images were painted on the window of the craftsman's shop. The buildings were reflections from the opposite side of the street.

I thoroughly enjoy images like this. The combination of window, what's behind the window, and the reflections make it sort of surreal. I was just looking at some I was trying of this sort in New Orleans. You did a super job in composing this and catching all the elements in one. #8699139
