Mirror, Mirror in the Garden... · 01:42 PM

Just some fun experimenting with mirror images. After adding the third image, perhaps I should have titled this thread something along the 'twilight zone.'

Outstanding JMR. Is #2 an orton of an image from your last photo post?
I'd like #3 hanging on my wall.

Very cool. I am liking this.

That's right, No2 is form an earlier post. But I stitched and cropped in order to avoid too much symmetry. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks. One thing I learned is to try and avoid patterns that look like something identifiable so as not to draw too much attention away from the composition. Notice in No-3, I cropped to the point where the pattern created by the braches merging was minimal.

JMR. I really like #3 and it may have been better without the guy on his bike. JIM

First post I've ever viewed to actually trigger a flashback. Great work, amazing colors!

Very nice work JMR, I like all three of them.

I rellu like the second image, it has great symmetry and still you have managed to melt away the centre axis!

Yes, good eye, I did deliberately try to offset some of the symmetry. One can get too symmetrical and make the image boring and unworkable.
