HI Pat,
in uploading pictures, upload in reverse order. That's always been that way. Don't know if it can be changed, but as everything else is working fine, it's best not to adjust the settings and mess something else up.
Your picture solves the question of the texture in Ringers, though it's been described as matte centers.
I always look at reflections when looking through the lens to see what would cause distractions in order to get a better angle, many times, as in this situation you have no choice, but when you do have a chance either lower or raise the camera angle, moving to the right or left or all four. Or go across the street and stand on a park bench - or whatevers available - for a higher angle, and zoom in on the subject. You'll possibly get some strange looks, but to get a better shot I've never let that bother me.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your picture to the right of Ringers is a scene in the glass of the background that appears to be either snow, or a lot of irregular white areas on the opposite side of the street behind some trees, that in turn is reflected in the glass.
As most know, glass, gold and any bright shiny objects are the hardest to shoot in an uncontrolled environment. Sometimes shots like these are best taken on overcast days, which this may have been.... but when you're on a trip like this, you take what you have.
