 An interesting idea but difficult to execute. Camera and reflector positions can vary in 3 dimensions; distance between them and them to the building, depth of zoom, all provide inter-related variables. A north facing building, changeable weather, a model with a (very) short attention span and you have a recipe for anguish. Oh that the sun would shine on cue! The very first picture was brillaint, with sunlight adding colour and depth but the image included a tiny bit of the photgrapher's head. Depite many attempts over several days, that success was never repeated. This one has no sun and no photographer!

LOL. My favorite comment you got was "i suspect you cut out paper and put it on the lens! cool idea."
Wouldn't have that been so much simpler?! Now why don't we think of these things BEFORE we've spent the time doing it the hard way. Probably wouldn't have looked quite right though. The way we are seeing it here, there is some distortion from the curves of the glass, and I don't think it would look quite right without that.
I almost hate to say it, but the sky is really white, and is begining to engulf things. The top edge of the house, and some tree branches.
Your focus and clarity are good. This is definately creative.
I think that maybe a side angle on the glasses would look cool, but be quite difficult to get, and probably not show the house quite as well. so the head on shot was probably the best idea.
Overall, nice take on the challenge, and better than a lot I've seen.
