3 month old & her reflection

MyView

So, I took this shot this morning of my daughter. I was just trying different things. I set a mirror on the floor in front of a window (it was overcast today) and snapped a couple shots. I got this and was wondering what your thoughts were.



The quality is better in the original than the uploaded version. I so have to set up a smugmug account!!!

Wow, nicely done... that b&w and color... and cute baby. God bless her.:):

This is a very original concept, at least I have never seen it executed in quite this manner. The B&W really helps seperate the "original" from the reflection.

And, babies are, by definition, cute and this one is no exception. Reallly like the image.

thank-you both for your comments. I decided to change her to color and the mirrored image to b&w becuase it was hard to seperate the two.

What bothers me on this image is that I'm not sure if I should've shot it from the side more or a different angle or what exactly. I look at it and see it. But some do not (example, my husband walked in and looked at it and turned his head, he of course, looked to focus on her face, where I see her and then her reflection and she seems almost 3d to me when you look at it at this angle). I'm not sure if people get it. I hope that makes sense. I tried rotating it and flipping it, but you loose the feel when it's different than the original. Hmmmm

I bias, but she's a little sweetheart. lol
