Thaattt's cool :)

Would've been nice if the reflection was of a jet ;)

Sure would. I have some other crazy ideas for this type of shot, i just need to be in the right place and time. This lad's sunglasses reflect really well so i will use him as a subject again. 8)

That's a great & imaginative shot Steve...

Can you squeeze that blackhead before the next shot though :-)

That is one cool reflection Steve, I suppose you could actually PS in any scene you wanted as a reflection, but it's very interesting. I have tried that effect but it didn't turn out as good as yours. Are they genuine Oakleys?

:D

I tried to PS an image intot he glasses afterwards, but i couldn't make it curve properly. They are genuine Oakleys, i think that's why they 1. Look cool, and 2. Reflect really well :)

Steve, great shot. Please dont tell me you did it with the 500mm mirror lens on a moving ship, I will have to give up now knowing I dont have 1/20 of your skill.

Fear not Glen, for you are my equal. It was an 85mm 1.4f, my favorite lens. :) I would love to try it with a 10.5mm fishy.

Beautiful use made of a beautiful lens, Steve. I too think the fish would be nice to have every so often

Really cool shot mate... I assume he's aware of the shot, so makes me wonder whether it'd be worth getting him to move a smidge so his nose is in blue sky... Picky picky :lol:

Really cool shot...

Blackhead? I reckon they're Melonamas (sp?) :)
