Reflected? Reality?

The Opera sqaure... Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks

phina . Where are you in the photo???? :o)

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

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.

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....

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.

 

A lovely, dreamlike composition. Regards, Joe

Ankin, I'm the ghost in the dress ;-))

 

Linda, Arash,Susan , Andrew and Joe, thanks you all of the interesting read of your interpretation.

Reality is an ilusion anyway:) Original point of view, very good!

A tricky shot,by all means,Pnina.

Reflections, reflections - how I love them, especially the little girl next to the reflected white dress. Beautiful, Pnina!

You have put up an interesting series from your glass windows, Pnina.

nice lady as you are not ghost :o(((( NO NO NO , unacetable, shalom

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.

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.

Adela and Amal, thanks!

 

Roger, We both like these reflections...

 

Cherlyn, glad you like the series.

 

Anakin, you always bring me a smile!

 

Gord and Jack, you like ghosts.... they are such fun....

 

Thanks to all of you.

Dear PN ina, just recovering from a stupid flu, trying to catch up on PN, and always go to you, very interesting picture, like you are, I am imagening this picture is in B&W, and only this blue keep in color.

 

with love Els,

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.

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.

Interesting idea Pnina. Creates a ghost-like effect and I'm sure there would be many weird and wonderful ways to do this.

Pnina, I glad you, my non ghost lady

Interesting perspective.

... 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.

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.
