 Taken at my mother's of my nephew and gr.nephew. They were having a quiet moment together and I tried to capture the sweetness of it. Using just the on camera flash, the reflection is still a bit grainy, but I think it turned out pretty good!

I like the subnect of this photo, but the pink wall is a deterrent

Interesting setup -- better than just a "straight on" shot.

quality a bit odd

Cute photograph. I think I would have tried to make the hard focus on the mirror instead of the subjects themselves.

Creative shot ... I would suggest not using the flash on the camera to avoid the shadows on the wall and also, get more of the subjects in the frame.

Looks somewhat grainy, but I like the mirror effect. Maybe rotate around 5 degrees to the left to get the shadow off the mirror. Don't know how it would work, but try lighting the mirror.

Egads! Is that wall really pink?! I really, really like the framing of this shot. I only wish it were a little clearer. Great idea.

Should have tried to lose the shadows.

I like the use of the mirror here. Nice if dad were looking at the camera too. It looks like the picture quality is a bit degraded here. I may be due to oversharpening cos the picture is a little grainy, and there are jaggies on the mirror edge

This is a neat photo but for some reason, the pink is killing me :))

I'm struggling to see how you lit this shot. There are a couple of clear indicators that it's flash (harsh shadows, slight red eye on the child) which I think let the shot down a bit. However, if it is flash, you did well to stop the mirror giving a massive hot spot.

Cute _people_ here. Little blur but the light is nice. Good try.

I like how you caught baby looking at you in the reflection. Dad looks like he's nuzzling baby's head, which is really endearing. I wish your mirror was sharper and more focused, but I know some mirrors are just kind of fuzzy. This is a great, warm shot!

The one finger gag.

The technical issues here, graininess, red eye, hurt what was a really great idea.
 05/27/2002 08:43:00 AM
Nice effect.

I like the story. Pink wall helps balance the red in the middle. Graininess detracts from the mirror reflection.

scary
is it possessed??
