From across the street

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.

This shot was taken with the Sigma 70-200 + 2x converter. f/5.6 @ 1/750th sec iso 400. Effective focal length 240mm. Handheld.

Shot across Military Road in Neutral Bay at some mirrors on display outside of a shop. Focussed on the reflection in the mirror, hence everything else including the frame is out of focus.

Yep, I like this one Chris.
Isn't it amazing how all the "different perspective" photos come out now. I guess in a couple of months we'll be seeing the really good "decisive moment" photos. :wink:

Chris I like the effect of the stacked mirrors(?) to the right of your subject, the continuing reflection looks great.....are you in a position to reshoot them?

Cheers
Deb

Chris
Many years ago in the day of film...I did a whole series on reflections in shop windows. By forcing myself to look at these reflections I eventually began to see reflections within reflections...like another universe. Sometimes I would see 4 or 5 levels of reflections, a mirror in a mirror in a shop window bouncing off another level off glass etc. There is a whole universe of life that lives parrallel to our universe in the magic mirror. And the store dummies come to life at night and love and party and travel from shop to shop. It's very spooky stuff. PS I declare that I do not take illegal drugs or other narcotics.
