crossing

Coments, critiques and rating are welcome.

I see lots of mirror prints like this, and I have to say that they are rarely executed correctly. People see the opportunity and they try to copy a technique they've seen but they forget the basic elements of composition, exposure, and focus. You've accomplished basic technique here, but you still lack a few things. One is interest. Go back to this spot when the sun is setting or rising in the mirror, or when a storm is coming, when when someone get's pulled over, or when the sky is littered with nice puffy clouds. It's a good shot, but it needs a little more to make it a great shot. You also might want to think about taking out the power lines. Although it's not necessary, it might give you a little cleaner presentation. Keep up the great work.

Muy original.

Guillermo, this is very good seeing, framing, and composition. The figure crossing the street creates interest at the street level while we get a different viewing angle of the same location. The only thing this really needs is more color punch by upping the saturation by about 50%. regards - Gary

I have to think that the most important aspect of a 'reflective shot' is to create an element of reflection of itself. This is, in my opinion, a very good example of that. I maintain my interest in the photo because both the reflection and the view are so closely related. The lines, the colours, the geometric patterns. In fact the one contrary item is the reflector itself. Very well done.

 

It's usual to see pictures with reflections, but this one is really original. Very well done!

I disagree with Jennifer in her criticism. The man crossing the street captured in the mirror is what makes this shot plus your obvious interest in including all those compositional lines that lead us towards the horizon.

Good and original work, Guillermo

Very Original. Congrats!

How did YOU stay out of the picture ? *R*

Me gusta la idea... y me llama la atencion no verte... la persona que pasa la calle un puntazo mas... pena los cables y el tono de cielo... te sugiero como idea que pongas todo blanco y negro menos el espejo. !Felicidades!
