These are my 'reflections' out-takes. I personally like the first one the most, but I had to fake the background a bit due to rotations. The two Clasp pictures are obviously not 'DPC-legal' but I was exploring the idea of how hands come together and the implications.
Originally posted by GeneralE: I like the "disarrayed" or maybe stop-motion look of I and II, but I think II emphasizes the mirror effect more by being horizontal.
This was my original submission until I went another direction (down)...
Yup, that was the main reason why I went for 'II' as the challenge entry but I prefer 'I' as a shot as it has a more dynamic feel.
You probably already realised this, but they are both the exact same original photo with different processing
I prefer the first one as well. for some reason in the one you posted, I always see a mouth trying to eating me .. do not know if it's good or bad, but it makes me think of that BEFORE thinking about a reflection. Lionel

I like a couple of those ones a lot : DCP_0297.jpg and BottleReflections0801.jpg in particular. I think I'd like the first one more with a less busy or more blurred background.
Konodor I like "Corner" best because it's closer and I like the way the reflection is broken up. Gordon the one you submitted was terrific! I like that one best.

I took this about 5 minutes before the challenge ended and came _THIS CLOSE_ to submitting, but then went with my gut reaction and decided to take a week off. Which has since turned into two weeks off.
Comments welcome. I was hoping to get better colors and a sharper reflection, but this is all I could muster out of my camera at 11:55pm.

Hey ya know that really isn't a bad picture. What I like about it is the warm hues making it almost metalic. I would have given it a 6 or 7.
