Interesting shot, and I can see what you were going for and it shows up nicely, but it's almost too close to the subject wearing the sunglasses and might be improved by some discreet manipulation in a software program after the fact, but I like your inventiveness in this upload :)PJ

Hi phasmid, yes I hear what you're saying and you're right. If it wasn't for the speed in which I grabbed the camera and shot it before anyone realised what I was doing I maby would have manipulated it to the desired effect. Trouble is, I'm afraid I'm an old traditionalist and manipulate as little as possible. I see so many photo's ruined because they are too perfect. I like to see the mistakes, manipulation is a skill but taking photo's "on the hoof" is a skill too and Iike to see the effort put in. if you look to the left of the sunglasses you can see my hand and the lens of the camera. To most this would be a candidate for the good old cloning tool but here I felt it was more "honest" to leave it in to try to express the feeling of what I was trying to capture. I do appreciate your comments. Perhaps I'll take it to my photo program and do some manipulation, you're probably right.

Cheers! Ray.

Pretty cool picture. I like the reflection.

Good and original work.

An interesting creative idea. The reflection came out well and the shades are kool. Good job Ray :*^>
