| Quite possibly the best photo I've seen on this site. Well composed... lots of style... creative... thought provoking... unexpected... deserved a higher finish... much higher. |

| If it wasnt for those LMVs this would surely have been a winner. GREAT shot - and in my opinion a reflection on the past is a valid interpretation of this challenge. |

| Superbly done, great lighting and idea. If you could have made the exposure on the top hand as light as it was on the bottom, it would've been perfect. |

| Interesting picture because I really had to think about what your title meant. I noticed right away that the bottom hand does not have a ring, which means this picture is not a reflection. I see that you have chosen a different interpretation of the challenge, and since I got the message - 7. |

This is a very interesting shot, but the only actual reflection is very small (in the wedding ring) and nearly impossible to see. If I am missing something and there is another reflection here, please set me straight ~ Myqyl ~
After a third (or forth) look, I'm beginning to think you are trying for a personal reflection (ie. thought, contempation). And while that's not obvious (at least to me) I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. |

| Very cool indeed! I think that a landscape format would have been even more striking IMHO. |

Lovely! Nice shapes, would have been a great neg space entry too! LOL. Like the highlights on the wedding ring. Without the ring it wouldn't be half as good, so I see the wedding ring as a real focal point. I find it a fraction too dark overall in the skin tones for my tastes, but that's just my preferences.

| This is a great shot. So close to a perfect "reflection," but not quite perfect... what were you trying to imply with that? :) - 9 - JB |

UPDATE:
This definitely made it to a 9 for me. Great work. 9.
ORIGINAL COMMENT:
Recently married then? Congrats! I like this image. The B/W decision is a good one. I like the use of negative space and the way the darkness kind of hugs your hands. Okay, it's not an exact reflection in the sense of creating a replica in a reflective surface, but it meets the challenge in two ways for me: 1) reflection in the sense of thought given to a topic -- this image shows reflection on the changes marriage brings to a life. 2) It mimics mirror reflection as defined above, which I think is a creative interpretation of the challenge. Well done. 8-9, just-married (That means I'll be tweaking this score one way or the other later.) |

Wow, you almost got me! I was studying the picture trying to decide what you used for a reflective surface. I assumed it could not be a mirror....then it hit me.
The ring! I think this is an outstanding photo, however IMO it is not a reflection. |

| Iknow there has been some controversy over this shot but I really like it. I looked at it a long time before the ring told me "the rest of the story". The lighting is perfect, I'm sure it was a tough shot to get. I'd be interested in the story behind the shot. DPz |

| Strong image! Great composition, technically sound. I really like the juxtaposition of the missing ring in the apparent reflection. |

| normaly I would grade low because it doesn't meet the challenge(no refelection) but your title saves it. Wonderful idea. |

| Obviously there is no true reflection here, and I would like to see one. I do credit your creativity, but I can't give you the 8 that I would like. 7 nards656 |

| This would be part of the broad interpretation of the word "reflection" !! Interesting concept though. I like the b&w (or desat) of the shot, and the composition is interesting as well. Moderate to high visual impact for me. (Great Neg Spc shot!) lhall-8 |

| Nice try. Put a ring on the other hand and I bet you would've fooled many people. And it might have fooled me too, because I'm in a hurry, but now I see that the lines are different. Very imaginative, though. Great idea. |

| Very good idea. This is more than a Reflection without mirror, is a Reflection without a reflection. I like this photo. |

10/01/2002 02:27:00 PM |
| Great B&W. The black is just really black and I like that. Though the bottom hand isn't the reflection of the hand on top it is still a reflection. Like it alot. (8) -arnit |

| Wow. I like this. The ring finger on top is slightly hot, but I like that, since that is the finger that we're "highlighting" so to speak. 9 kathleenm |

| Okay, I think I figured out how this was done. If I'm right, is this a true reflection? In any event, it's very clever. |
|

|

| interesting use of the meaning reflection. while this is obviously not a physical reflection, it is a mental reflection. the photo is self is taken very nicely with just the right lighting and the angle and framing/cropping are also nice. Overall a really nice shot! Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~ |

| Nice trick, but wouldn't this be a right and a left hand? Was the EXTRA glare on the ring finger on purpose? (great touch!) 9 Swash |

| even though this is not a reflection, I think it's a GREAT shot. I love the abstract idea you have presented here. I can't imagine a better interpretation :) = 10 - setzler |

| When I saw the thumbnail of this, quite frankly I thought it would be a fairly boring use of a shiny worktop. But it isn't; the ring really makes the picture work to perfection. Great drama, great composition and subtle use of absolutely no reflective surface whatsoeverâ€Â¦ Tops (10) |

Extremely interesting composition, although I fear most will give it less than it desrves.
In my opinion, this should be one of the top 3. -Dimitrii |
