Hi guys thanks for the comments, it was indeed a tough situation but I thought the multiple reflections would make it cool. Giantmike, there was no flash used actually, I don't know why you thought that. The nutcracker man was illuminated internally. Other than the tree he was the only light provided in the window.
This shot must have been really hard to expose properly. I wish the santas fact wasn't so overexposed, but I completely understand that it must have been impossible to the get enough reflection or to expose the tree well (which is done perfectly) without doing so. Love the added interest of the tree also reflected in a mirror on the left.
Hmm, interesting take on the challenge. I'm not too keen on the photo, but the idea is a good one. The use of flash here is really what makes this photo unflattering.
