Very cool idea and I love the sidewalk "stripes" leading the eye around. BUT, you chopped off the subject's head and that bothers me!

I really like this one- I kept coming back to it time and again.

At Debra - the subject is the reflection. ;-)

Another tumbled reflection where the technique becomes much more important than any possible reward. This would have been much stronger the way you shot it imo.

Beamer said 1011 days ago:

Richard, really??

RichardFord said 1011 days ago:

Hey Clyde,

This is a very old shot. I like to think I was a trail beater on the upside down thing. The reason it was done here was I wanted a full person image. And the reflection has that. The shape of the reflection is also more interesting than the actual person - he feels more slumped and under pressure.

The "water" aspect is just that lifted trail- that is the focal point IMHO.

I just tried it the right way up. It just doesn't feel right. The reflection loses all of the pain and torture in it...

The composition quite fascinates my eye! Love this one! 5 stars.

Beamer said 1009 days ago:

@Richard, just felt it was my obligation to make some smart ass remark!!
