Dangerous Reflection

Comment:
The reflection really brings a lot of interest to this one and the strong vignette feel gives me that underwater scuba mask, limiting vision feel.

"I asked you to sweep the porch and you just sit there. Get up old man!" Fantastic expression on her face.

Such an odd shape this room seems to have to it. The process really brings out the grain, depth, and emptiness to the room.

Nice softness and control of the light.

I'm not usually a border police type person because I like putting borders on my images no matter how they're received. In this case, I'm actually advocating no border though. The reason is that I think there is something else going on in this shot. The light is over something and there's a conversation off to the left and perhaps one just below the light as well. The border doesn't remove my ability to think that, but diminishes it a bit. The border makes me think that the light is the focus of the image, not what the light might be shining on, outside of the image. But that's just my opinion. I'm very open to other interpretations as well.

Either way, a very compelling shot and a nice soft treatment.

And the individual in this portrait is a good choice for some topaz definition.
