I suspect Digicam will be able to help you on this. It's still a great shot & in a way your camera becomes part of it.....

Good question. Its extremely difficult to avoid reflections, even with a polarizer, the best way is remove in photoshop.

Hmm, I have a photo of a chameleon through glass and you cannot see the reflection at all. I think it's a matter of focusing the lens. I noticed that if the glass is dirty
