Winter Mirror Box

I saw a few mirror boxes images recently posted on 365 by Sue @featherstone26 and I thought I would make one of my own.

I haven't done a mirror box image for quite a while so here is a winter image.

This flower in the garden was looking rather sorry for itself after all the rain we have had so I thought I would give it a new lease of life.

An appropriate looking flower for this time of year. Great fun in the mirror box. I have only done one of these edits. They are all different depending on the subject.

[Connie Little]

A great mirror box Babs.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Love this -- great edit !

[Sam]

Very clever Babs!

[Carole Sandford]

Ooooh like this!

[sally agnew]

Very nice Babs, love the colours :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful colours. Great fun with the mirror box. I never tried it.

[Casablanca]

Is that a physical thing you have or an editing tool? It's very effective

[Dawn]

lovely images

[Lou Ann]

How pretty!

[Helen Sanderson]

what fun

[Babs]

@casablanca it is done in Photoshop. Here is the tutorial by Gavin Hoey.

[Peter Day]

You have started me thinking again

[Maggiemae]

Never seen one of these but it looks challenging - particularly when you haven't got PS.

[Claude Trew]

Very clever. I have never seen a mirror box. Something to keep in mind for one day.

[Sarah]

Very creative. Works really well. I must give it a try

[Henri Russell]

Very pretty. I was wondering how you did it. Thanks for the link to the tutorial.

[carol white]

A super image

[Stephanie]

Looks great Babs, something else I have to get round to doing one of these days....

[Gayle]

Fantastic image! I haven't tried this mirror box technique...thank you for including the link to the tutorial. :-)

[Masquerade]

Filling the whole frame with colour. Lovely!

[Helen Jane]

You certainly succeeded with that new lease of life.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Looks pretty cool when you stick it in a box like this!

[Babs]

@ethelperry thanks Ethel, I have done a few mirror boxes and I agree they are all so different.

[Babs]

@beryl thanks Beryl. Hope you are recovering well.

@littleconnie @gigiflower @carole_sandford @hermann @dawnee @louannwarren @hrs @maggiemae @claudiet @sarahlth @henrir @carolmw @stephanies @gaylewood @maskerade @helenhall Thanks. I really love doing mirror boxes, but I haven't done any for a while, so when I saw this sad wintery flower I thought I would bring it back to life a bit.
some of you have seen the link above on how to do mirror boxes, but if not here it is again.

In the tutorial, Gavin increases the canvas size to 150% but sometimes I increase mine to 200% because it makes the sides of the box look not so squashed up.

[Babs]

@peterday Glad I have started you thinking Peter. I am not usually a flower person because I see so many flowers on 365 I tend to skip by them, but a flower made interesting is more my thing.

[Lynne]

Well done.

[Margo]

One very clever lady FAV

[Marnie]

What a multi-talented little Vegemite you are Babs, a very impressive effort. Congrats on your recent TT #1, so pleased for you to get a well-deserved win.

[Taffy]

Great subject for the mirror box -- I have totally forgotten how to do these! Must look into it again.

[Nicole Campbell]

It looks lovely Babs and such bright colours

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Heather Colgate]

As usual you give me inspiration, thanks... I gave it a go..

[Jane Morley]

Another excellent idea. Fav.

[Jorlam]

i'd never come across images of this nature before - very interesting and super effective.. i don't have PS so cannot indulge.. love this though..

[Babs]

@golftragic thanks Marnie. Can't believe I actually achieved no 1 on the TT. It will be downhill from now on I guess.

[Marnie]

@onewing Nah, you're just getting into stride mate.

[Sue Cooper]

Clever capture. I like it.
