    Reflection Question

    Question 1: is the natural reflection here disorienting since it appears to be in the "wrong" direction?

    Question 2: does this look artificial - like a merged PS image?

    I watched/photographed several groups of people going by this exhibit at a zoo today. Several more images like this, all of which raises the same two questions above.

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Reflection Question

    yes to 1 and no to 2. it just looks a bit odd to me. i look at the cat, the hand and the child and wonder what the connection is. after 5 secs i give up and move on. not a kepper in my book.

    It took me a few second to realize what I was looking at. It's almost like your shooting at a double paned window??

    Re: Reflection Question

    You know what it reminds me of? One of those portrait studio shots for children where they have a full length shot and then like a highlight profile soft feathered into the corner. Except they're unrelated which makes me think double exposure, but you're not using film here. As an image it's tricksy but not sure it merits more than a 'Hmmmm...that's different".

    Re: Reflection Question

    Yes, it does look strange, not really sure whats going on. If the two images were related in some way, i think it may work.
