Last minute submission....the weather held out long enough for me to shoot for about 30 minutes.

Half way through voting and I am sitting near a 7.0. WOW, pleased with that!!! I have recieved comments about how it is a bit dark in the front. I couldn't agree more. Darn basic editing. When I tried adjusting in shadows and highlights it just blew out the sky to much. I hope this holds up in the 7.0 range. I expect a drop as it gets closer to rollover.

Well I have been mistaken for coley and I could not have had a greater compliment. The umbrella was actually a mistake. It was raining, so we brought the umbrella. I shot my daughters reflection without an umbrella, then looked at he LCD screen to see if I liked any of those images. My daughter had raised the umbrella while waiting, and I noticed her reflection. BAM...it looked so much better with the umbrella. So we shot a few more and I knew I had what I wanted. The title was made up by my husband. However, I would like to thank coley for his support on this image. Your portfolio is amazing and I have enjoyed peeking at it a few times during this challenge.

Congrats on the Blue, Jen... you've got quite the "Blue" streak going on!
I also thought it was a Coley shot, but as he is also one of my fav photog's - that's definitely a compliment. Love the tones. Very surreal :O)
Oh how WONDERFUL!!! It does have kind of a Coley look, doesn't it :) And that IS a compliment :) It is so creative and shows the extensive range of your talent! Congratulations!
I rated this a 10 in voting. Thought it was a spectacular image. Kind of a creepy vibe going o =) This looks like it could be a still from a horror movie. Congrats on your blue ribbon!
I actually thought the same Irene, but gee, it is really so very good, and so deserved the ribbon..... Well done Jennifer, and another 'BLUE' to add to your fine collection..... shez

LOVE the idea. Its a winner for sure. I think I would have liked it more if the bottom wasnt as dark. Dont get me wrong, it helps pull you into the mirror, which pops...still though, its a bit dark for me. Overall though, its one of my favs in the challenge.
