 Blue posterboard, yellow posterboard
Shoe turned upside down
Piece of glass
Another shoe.

I had originally shot without the glass, but wanted somekind of reflective surface, even though the shot is better without it, I feared I was stretching the definition of the challenge too much. Had I done better with "Long Exposure" I would have gone out on the limb, but I need a slightly better score to help the awesome Team Femme Fatale out. :)

"The Lies" refers to the discussions about whether photography is truth or beauty, etc. etc. etc.

The bottom shoe is NOT a reflection, thus the lie.

well durn, for me "reflection" would include using twins in setups (people AND/OR shoes :) very sorry this didn't score better. Idea is cool and wonder if the blue were different color less voters would have thought it was a mirror???heck if I know...round these parts...WHO knows?lol
