Ahhh well, forgot to take this out. I put it in to see what it looks like. And then did not come back to it.

It's a mirror on some wood, catching the morning rays on a beveled edge. I don't live near any mountains or open areas so I thought it would be interesting to catch a little rays in suburbia.

I wanted to go back and clean the mirror and try it again maybe with sunset but I never got back to it.

Missed this one for some reason. Great take on the challenge and a superb idea. Love the palette.

Great idea though. I like the shining light hitting off the corner. (What a tough challenge)

Well I really like this, but then I'm weird. :P It looks like an illustration of Excalibur.

It's creative, has lovely color, and a very pleasing composition. I might have taken off a little of the bottom for balance.

I had the same problem with the sunset -- not well situated here for a good sunset photo. We have beautiful sunsets, but I have to go a long way to get a good view. There are power lines everywhere. It's so maddening.

That's what you get for wandering out with your camera, half nude, slippers and hair uncombed, half asleep to take a shot! *grin, wink*

Actually, for a "mistaken entry" you got a pretty decent score and comments! I don't get this when I really like an entry and have spent hours trying!!! *smile*

ETA: I'm laughing here because even KNOWING this is a mirror from your notes...I still can't tell that it is, let alone....seeing "smudges" on the mirror! ROFLMAO!!!!

Like the blurbles and the suspicion of an overhead flourescent.

I like the atypical approach to the subject.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at (which isn't bad), but there appear to be smudges and/or marks on the glass/mirror that are rather distracting from the shot.

can't tell what this is...is the sun peaking though a small slot? The rest of the photo is to out of focus to me...not sure what I am looking at other than a burst of sunlight...very grainy

I am not exactly sure what I am seeing here, but it is interesting in an abstract sort of way. It does FEEL like a shoehorn.

Not sure what this is but the focus seems a little off to me
