LindaM 2 Posted December 3, 2007 interesting story happening here...the young women followed by the older couple with possibly their granddaughter in full dress-up mode..all in different life-stages....all followed by the ghost of the dress on the right Link to comment
arash khoshghadam 0 Posted December 3, 2007 The reflection and the fact that it plays trick with the eyes is nice and original, bu the image itself has its pimary point of focus which can put across the message you probably had on mind obscured by too many geometrical shapes around. The more an image is simplified the better the viewer can get across to the message you have on your mind and which you are trying to put across through this static media. I have read all the ohter comments too. it's true that we can always pin some ideas to an image right after it's taken, but the matter is it must occure at the time it is taken not after. There are some chances to muddle through but it's again the matter of ... anyway, I think I like your effort and your originality as well as your sharp prying eyes which are always in search of something to capture. good luck.

susan stone 0 Posted December 4, 2007 My eye goes right to the very zen looking blue logo then I start wandering around with the folks headed somewhere and wonder about the story of their day and activities. The ghostly dress stands at attention and observes along with me. Feels like a dream.... Link to comment
andrzejp 7 Posted December 4, 2007 Andrew Looks like the girl is wearing first communion dress; must be beginning of May.I like this picture a lot. The gentle reflection makes the scene truly remarkable. Link to comment

gordonjb 10,860 Posted December 4, 2007 Very effective image, I like the interplay between the geometry in the building and the geometry in the store reflections. The figures, some solid some ghostlike and the mannequin all add interest. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted December 4, 2007 The power of the reflected image in the hands of a talented photographer, evoking multiple dimensions in ghostly overlays. That blue logo floats above the scene like an interstellar visitor. Link to comment

petemillis 0 Posted December 6, 2007 Pnina, well spotted reflection here. I like the mysterious hovering blue reflection, and the dress that looks like it's going to float across the image. Also, there is interesting similarity between the table reflection and the shape of the buildings. This image works really well. Link to comment
blackdogstudio 1 Posted December 6, 2007 Superb capture of reflection and light. Had it not been for the mannequined dress, the interiors would have been lost on me, my friend. The dress is a wonderful accent!!!! Regards. Link to comment
mikestacey 0 Posted December 7, 2007 Interesting idea Pnina. Creates a ghost-like effect and I'm sure there would be many weird and wonderful ways to do this. Link to comment
aginbyte 0 Posted January 15, 2008 ... and never commented. Don't know why. But this is a wonderful shot because of all of its reflections and deflections, but to me it is about the little girl dressed up in the white. Her special day. How do you get these shots? Were you waiting because you saw the "frame" and waited for someone appropriate to pass by? And happened to see the wonderful trio? Did you see them coming and "happen" to find the framing device. Did you look up and see the whole thing? It's a mystery to me, Pnina. BTW, love Jack McRitchie's comment about the blue logo. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks for your visit and comments ! I appreciate it. It is hard to explain how it happens... I was photographing in this opera square which is very big, I saw the trio coming, and the reflections that I photogtraphed before, so I was ready with my camera.. I think that it is a trained eye to evaluate the opportunity for the composition as was unfoding before me, short time to think... the " happy accident" that completed the scene was the reflected dress on the R side.
