reflection

Julie challenged me to do a reflection self portrait. I was playing a bit with this old floor mirror today, and, while this breaks so many rules, for some reason my eye keeps coming back to it. So ... my first attempt at a reflection self portrait....
Julie @jak0913 Here's my first attempt at a reflection self-portrait. It's been too cold for puddles, and, try as I might, I haven't been able to figure out how to get a window reflection though I'd like to. Hopefully I'll be able to try something else.

I like it too April - it has similar effects as my shot today, I say effects but think it is more broken rules as well, but for some reason both shots are appealing! We think so anyway 🙊

I have never met a rule not meant to be broken! This definitely works!

It's worked well. The angle is unusual. 10 out of 10!

I think I like it because it doesn't follow the rules. It's a very cool shot!

Rules should be broken, otherwise how would uou get such a great shot??

I like the originality of this April. I have played around with the mirror thing myself and for some reason I keep getting some blur, I will get it it eventually though. Great Shot!!!

A selfie is a selfie is a selfie. This is something else, a self portrait. Good stuff!

To me, it's the parallel lines that make this so effective.

hello April, i was going to give you a challenge about complimentary colours, then noticed you are doing flash of red. so instead is will ask you to do a stillife with fruit in black and white, try playing with different light sources, natural/electric, diffuse and harsh to bring out the form . you could look at the work of this artist http://platestopixels.com/blog/exhibitions/2011-exhibitions/edyta-wypierowska/ or victoria ivanova http://solent.photoshelter.com/gallery/Pears-with-feelings-by-Victoria-Ivanova/G0000azONH3Vd7pA/
