A mirror series challenge: Your feedback needed... by marlboromaam

A mirror series challenge: Your feedback needed...

for the following ideas...
1. A series of 3 shots which must include light and shadow in your composition within the mirror. You must include the whole mirror in the shots. You will have one week to complete your series.
2. One shot must be in black and white
3. One shot must include a partial selfie (you with your camera in the reflection).

Your thoughts? Please post them in comments!

Cool idea and shot it has an ansel Adams feel to it

Love to take part! How do I do that? Light and shade in this photo gives an impression of warmth, somehow!

@hasselhotch Thank you, David! I really appreciate your wonderful comments!

@maggiemae Just asking for feedback right now, Maggiemae. Will start it sometime next week, probably! Thank you for your comments! It is warm here today, but NOT hot. Thank goodness!

@sugarmuser Thank you, Sharon! LOL! I can't stop thinking in black and white after the artist challenge! I have a newfound love for it that I haven't had since my old college days.

@yonnie Thank you, Yvonne! I know you can do it!

@sanfil Thank you, Sandra! Appreciate your kind comments!

@marlboromaam I took some light shots in colour today, I may have a look at them in black and white. :) I'm addicted to capturing the sun

@sugarmuser Let's see those shots in some black and white, Sharon! Do find a mirror!

@rmkgreene Thank you, Ruth! Appreciate your feedback and comments!

I have to find a big enough mirror.......
May 11th, 2012  
@cdonohoue LOL! It doesn't have to be really big, Cathy!
May 11th, 2012  
Maggie, you have managed to capture the patterns, detail and contrast of this scene. I like how you captured the details in both the light parts and shadows. Whew! Beautiful!

@jaboney Mike, you made my night! Thank you so very much for your very kind comments! I so used to love doing black and white! I had forgotten how to think in black and white, too, until the artist challenge.
May 11th, 2012  
I would give it a try.
May 11th, 2012  
@copperheadglass Yay! That's good news!
May 11th, 2012  
do we have to do a selfie...*whine whine*..lol
May 11th, 2012  
Will give it a try this weekend. I am a whiner too - I hate myself in front of a camera. Can I get a stand-in?
May 11th, 2012  
Love it! Great shot too!
May 11th, 2012  
No selfie... yuck! Otherwise sounds like fun. Will you set up a challenge in the topics? This photo, by the way, is beautiful in black and white.
May 11th, 2012  
Yes, sounds great, heading down that road with you. Lovely b&w
May 11th, 2012  
Fabulous contrast of sun and shade.
May 11th, 2012  
Another good one....great lighting!
May 11th, 2012  
Beautiful shot and a good idea, i just hope it stops raining here long enough to get out =)
May 11th, 2012  
i dunno if i have a mirror that can be placed in the shot...hmm..lol
May 11th, 2012  
by the way this is a great shot...perfect!

@cindyrez Just a "partial selfie" Cindy. You can make it what it is and the camera will be in front of your face. The point will be NOT to fill the mirror with you only a part of you, similar to what I did with my last pic in my series.

@grannysue LOL! See my response to Cindy above. No stand-ins!

@melissapike Thank you, Melissa!

@swguevin LOL! Sheila, see my response to Cindy above.

@wenbow Happy to hear that, Wendy! Thank you for your kind comments!

@sangwann Thank you very much, Dione!

@cimes1 Thank you, Carole!

@mantha Praying for sunshine for you, Sam! I would love to see what you could do with this! Thank you for your kind comments!

@joeboxster My mirror came from Wally World a few years ago, Joe. I had it in my office until my layoff and I had to pack up and leave. It was very inexpensive. They still have some nice inexpensive framed mirrors and you can hang it in your house when you're done. Thank you for your comments about my pic!
