This is so unnatural looking as to be jarring. Still, I do like the symmetry and I think a tighter crop would really show off this effect well. It is probably a love/hate sort of thing, so may as well crop it to give the mirror tiger all of the real estate. Beyond the reflecting - great lighting, perfect exposure and dead-on sharpness. Really good shot.
Why? This strikes me as using expert editing for the sake of it. You appear to have at least half of a perfectly good photo here, so why, why, do that to it. What is your purpose, your story, narrative?
Well first of all, great tones, contrast and colors. I think this shot is pretty cool but still, the extra paws kindof kills it for me personally, that and the pink thing that is to the side of the tigre. I just wish it was more subtly mirrored and that it would really take a few seconds to get that it was really mirrored and the paw and pink thingy kind of ruin that element of surprise. Gave a 7 as this is done extremely well technically.
Nice shot - Like the tones - Find the extra paws a little distracting as too are the red things - I presume this is a mirror image which is why it looks a little odd.
