Sunglasses - Reflection

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

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 :-)
Cheers, John

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?

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.

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...
