My friend Katie laying on a mirror in the middle of a field.
In photoshop, I did a square crop, levels, mixed a desaturated layer with "soft light," cloned out some imperfections, and neatimaged. And maybe some dodging and burning, too.

I really like this pic a lot! What a lovely model!!! I like how there's a reflection underneath the surgace. Lighting looks good, focus looks good! Great shot!
The mirror creates an interesting effect. The background is overexposed, but I suppose that that's what the sky is supposed to look like under these circumstances.
A very original take on the challenge, and a beautiful subject. The tones are very cool, erhaps a bit more warmth and just a touchmore saturation in the skin tones...
love the effect you did on this. how faded the colours are, how the freckles stand out so much on her skin. hair looks beautiful. very nice! I almost want to see her holding a rose, as if she's sniffing it in her reflection
Really great tonal qualities. It appears to me as if this picture was rotated ninety degrees to the right becaue o the leaves. I like the placement of the left hand.
Interesting image. I thought she was lying on snow at first until I noticed the reflection. Very crisp image, wonderfull composition. I think a bit more of a smile would have been nice but this works very well as it is. Nice job!!
This is a neat concept, shooting downward on a miror. I'm not sure, however what the effect was trying to achieve. The shot may have ended up looking better if the shot was taken on a nice lawn, or a field of some sort. It's a really neat effect, but in this case it seems a bit out of place.
This is really very clever - took me a while to work out whether the hand was reflected or not. An interesting study. Maybe cloning out the top right "stuff" would improve but it is a small matter. 8
not sure why this is 90 degrees -- i'm all for tilted angles, but this is pretty extreme. the color is washed out -- would this be better as a duotone?
There is something I like about this picture, but at the same time there is something I don't like. However, I just can't figure out what it is. Wish I could say, but I just can't put my finger on it.
