This mirror is so fun! I like that the lady with the stroller has her eyes closed.

Remind me if I'm ever in Blackpool never to walk by this window :)

The first thing that came to my mind was the look of old photos. It's great as usual.

I like that you are actully in the shoot too. That's one wide stance you have there..... There is also a man in the reflection that is look at the reflections too; I assume to figure out what you are doing. It's the alyers of people tht I like.

but... where are you?
hmmmm....

Troy: I'm not in the shot.

VelviaPix: this was shot at an angle.

To me this is — EXTRA — ordinary! I love the reflection and the fact you see more people in the reflection. I think I even see you, did you have a white shirt on and sitting on steps??

darn! i was counting on a picture of the camera being devoured.
:P

i love the washed unique tonage in this picture. its almost dream-like.

brilliant. I love the way the woman on the right hand side (of the reflection) has a different expression in the reflection to that she actually has in her 'real self'...of course, that isn't strictly the truth as this shot captures both sides and the reflection is just that...a distorted image of that side of her.

The treatment? Well...as ever it's just f*****ng brilliant isn't it.

Can I make a comment though? If you're going to add a plug for your sales on this comment template Dave.. please would you ditch the red text.... It's possibly the worst colour you could put on grey....you should know that ;-)

Amazing colour. Photoshopped? I prefer this to your three piers.

Great. Again the colours are great..
Nice perspective !

Awesome picture. It does have a very old-time photo feel to it. Reminds me of "Schindler's List" for some reason. I'd love to see more pictures like this one, maybe some portraits done in this style.

Is this done in the same place as the pigeon photo from a while back? Or at least in front of the same building?

mark: I added the 'purchasing prints and images' thing to the comments window as I frequently get emails asking me if I do prints. I take your point about the red text though, it's not necessary.

tc: yes, the colours were photoshopped, but both women were wearing red. In this instance I added a partially opaque Hue/Saturation layer to colourise the shot. This washes out the colour and adds a uniformity to the colour palette.

Parker: yes, some portraits would be good.

trob: yep, same window.

It's true, it's much more satisfying to be able to take the image itself using a camera, than processing afterwards with PS. Must be the difference between being a photographer and a graphic designer? Anyway, I love the colour ranges here, was that played with or is this the original shot? Like it all the same.

Sorry, but realy i dont like this; you make best normaly

It makes me sad, it's so dark. It seems like a really cynical look at the holidays

Thanks everyone.

Meg: it wasn't intended to be cynical. I guess, for me – in the context of having five kids, a house that still needs decorating, a full-time job, and so on – it captured something of the stress that many people feel at this time of year. Sure, it's the festive season, and I'm going to enjoy it, but it's tiring nonetheless.

I love this spot -- I don't even have to look at your link - I remember the other shot well --- nice - no - VERY NICE subtle tones here... the holiday shoppers -- good stuff...

So you're not in the shot? I would have bet the farm tha tthe person in the upper right was you... with your legs really wide for stability. looking agin, I guess what I thought was a scarf around your neck is actully an arm. hehe. And what I thought was your hands on a camera must be a white shoulder on their coat. Oh well.
