Good reflection and b/w, and a very funny illustration of Wilde's words

!. How do you always find just the right quote for your photos? Do you have extensive interests in literature as well as in photography?
2. There is something strange here; though the action on the left side is reflected on the right, your water mark normally would be applied across the whole photo. Yet you have created a reverse image watermark as well, as if it too were also being reflected. Very clever......How did you do that?

@Dulcie: Thank you :) I do love literature, it's true, but I also don't have the time to sit and read like I'd like to. As for the wtatermark, I made 2 of them and then just flipped the one on the right .

Double, triple life, oh yes ! All those we also live within our minds, would not have enough reflections to illustrate ;/ Great picture and story you tell about us all* You have a nice sunday, dear*

well caught (or planned, dunno). And yes, this girl seems to have a deep interest in (good) literature.

Another literature reference, "the talented Mrs. Bluechameleon": Prodigious eye. Good literature. What else? You win my admiration photo after photo. Fun idea the signature reflection, as well. Congratulations.

Is the reflection better than the man himself ? That is the question... Creative picture

Terrific capture. I think I am more captivated by the reflections than the reality.

Love it! At first I thought it was a symmetry action and then I realized what it was. Superb work!

Why do reflections are so fascinating to us? Are they something we would rather be? Do we wonder if out there in the reflected world the rules are different? Nice image, Sharon. It got be thinking and staring into... That`s a good sign :)

That is one of my favourite lines from The Importance of Being Ernest.
This is such a cool shot. Very nicely done.

Cool street shot. I've done something similar (shooting my own self!) and the security inside the building wasn't too kind at telling me there is no f*n photography allowed :)

Did you flip this image horizontally? It looks backwards. JUST KIDDING! lol....I love it. An exceptional capture.

Jane from California, United States
Excellent shot! And agreed, very creative. The perspective is so well done, it puts me right on the street...or in the window. Flipping your watermark an added bonus.

If my processing plant shot was Coen Brothers, this is Paul Greengrass, Doug Liman, or Tom Tkywer.
