I was racking my brain for ideas on the Metal challenge. There's so much around I was having a hard time coming up with ideas. I finally took an old 12-guage shotgun shell (3 1/4inch shell, #6 shot), used a knife and uncrimped the end, emptied most of the pellets out on a handheld mirror and stood the shotgun shell up in the middle of them. I then set the mirror on a fence post outside where the only other reflection was the sky. I didn't rotate the image back to vertical because I thought the horizontal view was more of an illusion.

interesting, took me a few seconds to realize what I was looking at. I wish you'd framed it as a diagonal, the composition seems weak and static to me.
OK, I think I figured out how you did this, and I'm assuming it involves a mirror and 90 degree counter-rotation? Wonderful shot! Really made me think. This is an example of what's great about dpchallenge, photographers inpiring other photographers.
my goal is to comment on every photo in this challenge..heres urs..good luck.. unique way to display this photo..adds a whole new dimension to it for me
