These shots were taken with my old point and shoot camera as I wasn't in the mood to lug around my Nikon DSLR that day. But even so, I was not aware that a circular polarizer could reduce the reflection so thanks for the tip! I was quite concerned about the quality of the images and the reflection from the glass but decided to post them anyway as the display isn't something that everyone would have the opportunity to see otherwise. One on the reflections that I thought was interesting and even a bit "artistic" was the crowd and streetlight in the bottom of the second image. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and comment. Dan – thank you for you kinds words.

Good example of how a normally undesired reflection can sometimes be a great asset. I leave a circular polarizer on my camera often to dial out reflections from glass, but this is a case where the result is dramatically improved by allowing the natural reflection to remain. I hope these images help me to remember that sometimes less technical manipulation in a shot is better. :-) Very nice photos.
