Title:	Mirror Image

Diaphragm & Shutter speed:	Full auto

Technical information:	I zoomed in a little (around 100 mm) to get a tight crop. I think I got away with hand holding at 50 asa ok as it was such a bright day :)
Subject information:	On the way back to London from a camera shop, I spotted an office block on a bright sunny day and started to photograph it. This was my first attempt with slide film.

Nice "blues" and nice symmetry.

i cannot figure out just what is going on, it's a mind boggler fer sure! different parts of the picture are giving contrasting visual cues as to whether i'm looking at a reflection or the actual building which looks like a reflection or what. a real treat, trying to make things work out. more coffee i think. great photo!

oh, and excellent results for a first shot at slide (velvia no less)

Love those Velvia colors, and a nice composition. A question: is the horizon slightly off level, or is that just a trick from the uneven hedge?

Wow! What will you do for your second attempt?

You just dreamed this up, but how did you get on film? More perplexed about how did you meter it.

My first thought was "People who live in glass houses..." I trust there aren't any loose stones about. Great image, almost a 'fun-house of mirrors' look about it.

Great colours and a puzzler to interpret. Sharp as well. The cloud reflections really add a lot by breaking up the monotone of blue, and the green of the hedge adds a nice foil to all that blue. All in all a great photo - one to be proud of.
