So far I took only very traditional reflection shots! Haven't found anything spectacular, or different. Took some autumnal shots this morning, some of which include the duckpond, so I hope they came out a bit more ... well, you know ... not tóó traditional.
I'm now going to have a look at them.

You can't say I do not immediately spring into action, when prompted to enter for the competition!

It is one of the run of the mill reflections, as I did not have the time/luck/ ideas to go for something special!

[Hinfrance]

Not having any lakes or standing water available, I resorted to my old favourite - shop, or in this case, bank, windows. I thought it was a interesting juxtaposition.

So you don't have to go the entry thread to look at it, it's here:

God and Mammon:



Downloaded a trial of CS5 so I can see what I'm missing; did it partly in that and partly in Photoplus, finished it off in Elements. There has to be an easier way

I've gone for the slightly subtle reflection but with a distinctly unsubtle subject matter!

Out of my tree this week with an abstract shot, Background Within

Managed to get an entry done this week whilst the other half is getting ready to go to a black tie do with work, luckily I was not invited 

I had thought about going down to the river as it's a really still night and thought I might get some reflections in the water, but I see I've already been beaten to that idea with some excellent shots.

So I'm in with this 'mirror mirror on the wall' but actually the mirror was stood on a table!!

Can anyone remind me? Are we allowed to change our entry as I prefer this, taken today

You can change your mind as much as you like provided there is a picture up by midnight Monday. I think some people don't post early for this very reason.

Cheers!

Well thats my entry posted 

It wasn't what I was planning on doing but am quite pleased with the picture....



I was just playing around taking shots of anything reflective in my office and it wasn't until I looked at this shot on my PC that I realised it had a couple of "reflections" - the one in the head of the lamp, but then the pictures too (which weren't placed for the shot, they are always there). There's 4 generations of my family in those pictures - my grandad (who is no longer with us), my dad, me and my son.

Good luck all

Great entries again this week, it is going to be hard to select one    above another

^^ gotta agree the standard is getting better and my effort wasn't that great or original so I'll wait for next week!
