Vintage portrait (C.S Lewis... is that a wardrobe in the corner?)

Saturday I ventured locally for breakfast and exploring local shops! I bought a Box Brownie camera here. (meh! probably paid a premium for it - but I just got chatting to the elderly woman Mary - looking after the store for the day. We chatted about photography styles and preferences and she let me take her photo. (will post later)

I loved this image and reflection. Briefly contemplated cropping out the painting - but just didn't look right.

Smashing! Reflections are just so gorgeous. It's almost like a window into an alternate universe.

wow - instant FAV just love the POV and focus is just great. What a fun day you must have had shopping - I love wandering through places like that.

Great shot Brigette. I like the grey background but wonder if the item to the right distracts the eye from the great image in the mirror.

great idea, I also would like to get rid of the painting on the wall, as the mirror itself is wonderful, especially the levitating chair

@kali66 @happysnapper65 ... that would be my preference also!! can't say i played around with the cropping alot.. but when i did the framing didn't look right... not quite rectangle and not quite square...... I may have another go if i can be bothered!!!

[kali]

you would have to patch it in photoshop if you want to retain the comp

[Brigette]

@kali66 .. ha! yes i thought of that... if i had photoshop..!!
