Wow! What an unexpected and interesting image! I liked the result from my first look because of that bright green band across the middle and the two people highlighted by it, but it took me a long time to figure out what exactly I was looking at. A really, really cool effect of the overlapping reflections.
Thank you! The picture began as a portrait of a couple making a picture, but when I looked at it was more about layers and seeing through glass reflections, twice. Two people, two glass walls.

Grace Farms is a very interesting place.
 
We lived in Darien for eight years but left before this opened (I don’t recall even hearing about it; we moved in 2011, so not sure it was even an idea then). I would have loved this place.
Yes, not far from Darien, in New Canaan. An old horse farm on the NY line converted into a ... well, it's hard to say. A retreat. A community center. A library reading room. A bit of a design mecca (lots of Asian tourists, including the subject of the photo -- Grace Farms must be in e.g., Japanese guide books). A nature area. A recreation space. A tea room.

It risks being too spread out in concept to hold together, but I happy to say it does. My youngest particularly likes it.

And lots to photograph.

BTW, if you've never seen the film "Auntie Mame," with Rosalind Russell (and can get past the hypocrisy of skewering one set of stereotypes while vigorously affirming others), it's quite funny about Darien.

I really like this composition. Although I wished that the butterfly was hanging on the very tip of the thumb which would've made image more balanced to the viewers' eyes.

The main subject is somewhat depressed by the weight of the amazing backdrop. The background abstract is simply amazing and well captured

Welcome to the POTD thread! I hope you post some of your own photos. Typically we don't leave constructive criticism in this thread unless it is specifically asked for by a poster. 🙂 We have other threads where CC is more appropriate.
 
My comment got out of hand really quickly, even though I only meant to say it was an amazing shot. From this time forward, I will keep my snooty my mouth sealed at all time. Sorry about my comment if you took it in a wrong way
