I took this shot this morning at a local classic car show. It rained last night, so the puddle on the ground provided the perfect mirror. The image was rotated, cropped, and I adjusted the levels, saturation, and contrast.

Hi Dan,

So you’ve been had by the “Doesn’t meet the Challenge” clan :-)
I have the same problem just in this moment with my Touch submission.
True, there is no mirror present in this photo, and that was part of the challenge, but we could argue if water is or is not a mirror. Water is used as a mirror so I guess this should pass for meeting the challenge.

About the photo itself, it’s a good photo with lots of color, and I really like how you made the reflection the “eye catcher” of your image, I think the glare on the left side of the car is a bit distracting and could have been avoided by using a polarizer, but then I guess the reflection in the water would have been gone, so that would not be an option.
The tree branches in the reflection are also unavoidable, but also not helping.
There’s not much I can tell you about this photo, I think that this is a good outcome of this subject.

I think all in all this is a good picture and if the challenge would have been reflections, I think you would have scored at least top 20 with it.

Keep up the good work.

If you have any questions, comments or other things about this critique, or are bored and want to spam someone just PM me.

Grrrtzzz

wild image. love the colors. if you aren't scoring well, it is probably because the reflection is not in a traditional mirror.

Great composition and clever use of a "mirror".

This would be a nice shot for a reflection without mirrors challenge, but this challenge is called 'Mirrors'.
