It's interesting, out of this entire scene, what my eyes are directed most to is the word "no." I think it's because of what looks like some vandalization, and me wanted to figure out what it said before.

Obvious tripod use: High because of the mirror alone. Unfortunately the mirror blocking much of the view is also the biggest hindrance to this photo (in my eyes).

Very creative use of the mirror. I think I would avoid the lifeguard chair though...

LOL love it.. no one can say you didn't use a tripod! I espically like the way the sun hits the top of the mirror and in the mirror there is a what looks like lense flare!

Childhood Lost

Ought to ribbon, nice color tie in with the tie in the photograph, the baubles on the pony tail and the peaches. The blue of the bowl sets that triumvirate off well. My only issue is with the reliance on photographs to make the allegory obvious, since an image is not a symbol but a representation. The shorn pigtail, and the peaches are a lovely evocation of fleeting youth, but the images are the easy path to clear communication, skipping subtle symbols, and something of a cheat.

Comment by MinsoPhoto:
I like how you used the rope for the ring of fire. For me this shot seems out of place. It looks like you are in a fenced in back yard and you have some "cowboy" stuff on then you have flip flops and sunglasses at night. Sorry it just doesn't seem to flow well for me. Best of luck.

Great idea and shot, i would love to see the mirror and the steps just slightly further apart, very nice though.

I was wondering how many literal interpretations of the topic there were going to be. This is the first I came across in voting, and it's a good one. Very creative.

Good image, but not seeing the obvious use of a tripod.
...oh wait - I see it now. ;-)
