Picture Perfect - "Reflecting"


Fire!!!





The week I chose to return and participate with Picture Perfect, coincides with one of my favourite styles of photography with which I love to get creative. Not so much reflections of mountains on lakes etc but I love to find in photographs reflections that I can either create some artistic photos or a photo that could pass for a piece of artwork - like the one I chose above. I have many many reflection pieces I have played with in my archives but I decided to challenge myself and limit myself to finding  something I could use as a post from the photos I have in my camera at the moment - above is what I came up with. It is to me a type of reflection that can be framed and hung on a wall to co-ordinate with a colour scheme in a room or as abackground for some photoshop creation or a web page background or if not to your taste chuck it in the bin!! This is from a photo of a sunrise on a local river. It was cropped, inverted, framed, a signature applied and voila!!!




If interested I made a blog, a year or so back, on how I create, what I call artwork, from reflections from photos - could be worth a look.

  2. this is food for our imagination. for example, it makes me wonder how the sun looks like, and the sky and how the surroundings are. I imagine peace and beauty.

  7. Very clever! Very neat effect that way. Reminds me when I was a kid and used to walk around the house holding a mirror, imagining I was walking on the ceiling!!!
