Here's another shot from my favourite reflective surface.
On another matter: though chromasia's server seems to be behaving reasonably well at the moment I will be changing hosting companies by early January at the very latest. I'm currently testing the new installation of chromasia and will switch things over as soon as I'm happy that the new site is working properly.
Oh, and yesterday's shot wasn't a reflection, it was two masks, side by side, the leftmost one of which was darkened during post-processing.

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte ...
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this photo is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I like your use of reflections. Is this the same window as the picture from the 16th? Nice B&W conversion as well

Sharla: :-)
Pete: yep, and the 25th of November, and a few others.

I like these reflectives too. First thought, they are both watching you, watching them. Second thought neither one of those ladies are watching where they are walking. Perhaps they are watching eachother!?
What is the surface again? A building?
Thanks again.

RustyJ: it's some sort of reflective material stuck onto a shop window.
comment bygoon at 10:28 PM (GMT) on 21 December, 2005
RustyJ: you're forgetting the now-famous third man, holding the shoping cart in the background of the reflection...
has the whole background been over-blurred at post-proc?
comment bydjn1 at 11:11 PM (GMT) on 21 December, 2005
goon: no, no blurring. This is pretty much a straight shot.

I love these window shots, David. Beautiful.

I see you baby, shaking that...
Nice work - a big fan of reflectives too.

Fantastic capture and choice of tones, feels like an old movie.

I think this just might be my favourite reflective surface too, lovely.
Is she looking at you or checking herself out?

reflective surface? explain..

The mirror-like surface is a fantastic 'tool' to be sure but it's the composition of this shot that really works.

I just found your blog a few days ago, through I AM PAPERBAG. Your photos are breathtaking.
I would love to put a link to you from my blog, would you mind?

Ciaron: no, I don't mind in the least. Thanks :-)

From the look of the subjects, it seems other people like the merits of this reflective surface too. Nice shot...
comment byKeith at 02:45 PM (GMT) on 22 December, 2005
I llike the indifference of the very smart lady in the wheel chair compared to the others who seem to be checking out their reflection.
comment by Simon at 03:30 PM (GMT) on 22 December, 2005
I've been visiting every day over the last year, but first comment. Just wanted to say thanks for all the enjoyment and inspiration you have given me. The standard of thought and execution is extremley impressive. Hope you and the family Have a Great Xmas.

Do you see what I seeeee....?
