Interesting approach. I like the angle and the shooting at the mirror a lot. I assume this was a mirror on the ceiling. Well done. I like the expression of the girl looking up and the body language of the man looking down. Is it in an elevator? Interesting how close the people are standing. The only part I cannot fit in is the girl on the right. Is it some trick she mirrors are playing? She seems to stand where the back of the person with the glasses' back should be. Interesting. 7, just-married

Great pic. Camera angle and linear angles very effective. The qualities of the stainless steel make the background very much part of the picture. Brilliant.

Nicely done! How did you do this - are you looking up at a mirrored ceiling or down through a glass floor? Composition is very interesting, and the images look like a collage of people rather than just a group of people.

Very bizarre, but not in a bad way. The motion of the children is both good and bad. Good that it shows they are alive and kicking, but bad in that it makes the shot seem less than clear. 8 Swash

The mirrored effect is cool.

gr8 idea - did they know what was happening? 7 sgtpeppa

Cool idea - very well executed!

This is really interesting. Where in the world were you standing? Very cool, am anxious to hear how you did this. :) 9 Kaz

you get a ten 'cause it's an original idea plus rule of thirds plus different lighting sources and effects plus it fits the challenge like a glove (and 4 cute kids couldn't hurt either). way to go. next time you hesitate about should i really take so and so's candid picture or not forget any inhibitions you may have and shoot your butt off, you obviously know what you're doing, you've made a beautiful thing and the world needs more.

I really like this image. I keep trying to figure out how this reflection is working. Great job.
09/04/2002 09:37:00 PM
Good shot.
09/04/2002 04:04:00 PM
Although it is slightly out of focus, I like this photo a lot. use of mirrors very interseting. Also, I like the fiact that you cannot see the camera. 9.

Very cleaver! There are so many different feelings emoting from the people in the elevator. One loooks like she's going to be sick, the little child center bottom is wondering what is happening, the boy in the middle looks frightened and the adults are really enjoying themselves. This is great.

cool idea. 7
09/04/2002 06:12:00 AM
Clever idea, great shot...
09/04/2002 01:27:00 AM
everyones is waiting for the elevator?

I guess I am not the only one not fully understanding the reflections. but ... good control of the reflections, exposition ... meet the challange nicely. Very original. The picture do not appeal me 'per se' but very good work. 8.Lionel

This picture really had me confused for a while. I could not tell if some of the people were "real" and some where part of a poster painting. I think I've got it now.... Its a ceiling shot reflecting the people below. One thing still has me puzzled, where is the reflecting of the lady in red (left) coming from.

very original, very good
09/03/2002 01:53:00 PM

Interesting concept!
09/02/2002 11:38:00 PM
mood captured - checking out a mirrored elevator?
sincerity of expressions - good
09/02/2002 11:23:00 PM
This is a great shot. Where are you at though? Is that a mirror or glass see through?
09/02/2002 04:49:00 PM
nice use of reflection!
09/02/2002 03:51:00 PM
Very interesting perspective! Love the looks on the kids faces. A lot going on with the composition, and I like the effect. lhall-8

This is excellent... Working something 'artistic' into this challenge was not an easy task. I think you have done a great job with this idea... = 10 - jmsetzler
