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.

Muy bueno ese juego con el reflejo, la simetría. Bello blanco y negro

Excellent shot --- the reflections are so clear

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.

Outstanding Sharon! This picture rocks in so many ways!! The reflection is the shot is a perfect match to your quote. I love the playfulness in your watermark..... A true artist at work..... ;-)))

Is the reflection better than the man himself ? That is the question... Creative picture
28 Jun 2009 1:14pm
That our image like our story! Belle symbolizes the duality of the individual! On a beautiful B / W! Thank you to you and good Sunday.

Excellent reflection!!! Joli jeu de miroir!!! Bravo
28 Jun 2009 2:07pm
Terrific capture. I think I am more captivated by the reflections than the reality.
28 Jun 2009 2:16pm
Love it! At first I thought it was a symmetry action and then I realized what it was. Superb work!
28 Jun 2009 2:48pm
Brilliant! blue. And please find time to read a little bit. :)

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 :)

Human cloning !!!! The observation is essential in photography.
28 Jun 2009 3:11pm
I like that you make the reflection of the label - great image
28 Jun 2009 4:08pm
that is a fine piece of street photography right there.. nice work playing around with the reflections.. :D
28 Jun 2009 4:53pm
A very clever picture and "right on time" : Bravo !
28 Jun 2009 6:15pm
Very nice framing here, the BW conversion is very pleasing to the eye and the reflection is awesome.
28 Jun 2009 8:21pm
That is one of my favourite lines from The Importance of Being Ernest.
This is such a cool shot. Very nicely done.
29 Jun 2009 1:51am
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 :)
29 Jun 2009 9:05am
Like a glimpse pf parallel worlds . . and who is to say they don't exist ?
29 Jun 2009 10:25am
I really like the concept here with the reflection of your blog name. Nice find!!
29 Jun 2009 12:32pm
Really cool reflection and the flipped watermark is a great touch! :)
29 Jun 2009 3:38pm
great shot. it does have the feel of a man and his evil (or good) twin.
29 Jun 2009 3:49pm
i like the half/half shot with the reflective glass, awesome creativity you've got here sharon!
29 Jun 2009 4:27pm
Did you flip this image horizontally? It looks backwards. JUST KIDDING! lol....I love it. An exceptional capture.
30 Jun 2009 1:57am
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.
