A very, very good series, Warren - I like this one (#2) the best, but I like them all.
You really managed to get excellent exposure for both the reflection and the surrounding "frame",especially on #2 and #3.
I think I like #2 best because the "frame" is more secondary than in #1 and #3 ... and because there are only so may ways to include the arch - you had to either cut off a piece in #3 (arcus interruptus) or leave in stuff outside the arc as in #1. In both of these cases, the arc is, in my mind, either the primary element or at least a co-equal element with the reflection.
But in #2, the reflection is definitely the main element, and "suggesting" the arc in the upper left corner as you did works very, very well for me - the Gestalt that you taught us about does its job and fills in the "arc-i-ness" of it without any distraction whatsoever from the "frame" - the "frame" in this case is totally complementary to the main subject.
How's THAT for an artsy-fartsy analysis??? :-)

I'll have to chime in and agree with Steve. For me, I liked the composition of this photo. I liked how the light fixture appears to be an element in the sky like the sun or moon. Very nicely exposed as well.
Steve,
I just found out that this old church has quite a history. It was originally a synagogue from the 1890's, serving the 20,000 Jews who settled in this neighborhood before it became Japantown. I uncovered more infomation about it, and I posted it on my personal blog. Be sure to follow the link to the museum exhibit...

Warren,
I really like this shot a lot. The composition came out great in what looks like a very difficult to compose shot. Both the upward lean and the direction of the clouds add nicely to the composition. Very well done!
