This is a tribute to the yellow ribbon winner of the first Mirrors challenge.
It's not as good. Selective Desat in basic editing SUCKS.
*post-challenge*
Yay! Eighth is good. Personal Best is better. For a little bit, I thought I might actually ribbon with this, but I'm glad I didn't even hit top 5. I'm entirely NOT happy with this shot.
I had a 10 minute window to shoot it in last Tuesday afternoon. The weather had been overcast ALL WEEK, without a peek of blue sky. Then, just as I'd given up hope, bing, the clouds opened up. I raced outside, slapped these makeshift mirror glasses on Andie, and bribed her with treats (she was missing Toy Story, forces of media forbid).
I had bad light, a grumpy model, and basic editing keeping from doing anything else right!
Soooooo, despite all that I'm ecstatic about the placing. My first top 10.
*EDIT* OH yes...
700 views during voting!?!?!?! WOAH.
I wonder if it was due to having to be validated?

I like the way the shot is set up and it really captures the essence of what the challenge (mirrored sunglasses) Though I would have like the shot better if there were no houses reflected in the glasses, but that is just my opinion.
