52 Week Challenge Week Four

Our week 4 challenge was to tell a story with a mirror, Had just a tad of help from the Deep Art Effects app.
Love the shot and the effect you've used. Rather than telling a story though, I feel that you've given us a set up to create our own story.

@gardencat Thank you very much and probably true but working with mirrors isn't my favorite path. I may try again.

I think this is a familiar scene in many houses first thing in the morning and it tells a story to me of someone who is maybe a little traditional with having a boiled egg in the morning? As well as someone who has a strong cup of black coffee to get them going. :) I like the colours in the editing but not so sure about editing itself though, sorry. I can't make out what some of the things are in the mirror.. Is it a coffee machine? I can't read the words either, but that's because my eyesight is pretty terrible... I found this theme sooooo hard because I couldn't think of anything much using a mirror that couldn't really be told/shown without using one....

@stephanies I tried to show that I like a 4 minute egg with exceedingly strong coffee-the edit showing that I hadn't had enough coffee yet. This is take in front of my toaster which has a mirror front, (which I hate cleaning). I thought about mirrored sunglasses but haven't made much progress yet.

@joysabin Not meant as a criticism. I like the open-endedness of the scene, allowing us to supply our own details. I also like the use of a shiny toaster as opposed to a more traditional mirror.

What great tones and textures! This is awesomely composed!

@gardencat Never took it as one, I sometimes see what I want to see in a picture and even my husband goes, huh? I always welcome comments and ideas, please. This is how we grow and learn.

@cjphoto The app is a blast to play with, this is only one of the choices to use. I even cleaned the toaster for the shot. :):)

very nice processing

I'm glad you explained about the toaster, as I was having trouble working out what it was. I was thinking razors.

I love this app and it works so well with your image.

@jerome Thank you, nothing is in focus until the first cup.
@365projectorgjenfurj The 'straight shot' was okay but just a tad boring.
@megpicatilly Thank you very much.

@365projectorgjenfurj I see the razor now, good thing I don't have any in the kitchen :):)
