    Photos In a reflective portrait mood...

    Looking at reflections on a sheet of black glass (an old TV table) for an attempt at some still life photos, I decided to ask Rachel (my daughter if you didn't know) to lie on the floor and across the edge of the glass to see if I could get a reflection of her that works.

    Here is what we ended up with, and I think it's quite a respectable take on a portrait theme.

    I do like it mate..its different and would be to easy to do it as equal reflection.
    To me photography is capturing something different

    Equal reflections was less effective. You had to choose between the eyes in Rachel or the reflection. The framing was very deliberate.

    The reversed pic looks like some religious pic like Mary. Weird but in a cool way
