  • DPNOW Salon Competiton #123 - "Mirror Images"

    The winner of competition 122, Barr1e, won't be able to curate the current event so I've been asked to do so. Hope I have the rules right. I've long had a fascination with mirrors and have taken a fair number of photos with them. Dig through your archives or go out and try something new. Not mere reflections, although there are some beautiful examples out there, but photos that actually feature a mirror and of course the mirror's image. Here's a composite of a few I've taken over the years to give you some ideas. If you think this is a bad idea for a subject, I'm certainly open to suggestions but if the subject is unchanged in the next 24 hours, let's go with it and see where it leads.



    This Salon will end at Midnight on 23rd May, 2012.

    The rules, as usual:

    1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/
    They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

    2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

    3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as a links to an image held somewhere else).

    4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

    5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

    6. The curators decision is final.

    7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

    8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

    9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

    10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

      Brilliant subject! I have millions of mirror images but not all in mirrors, lots taken on glass buildings, water etc etc, will one of those count or does it have to be an actual mirror?

        My thought was to avoid water reflections and to go with actual mirrors but you'll notice in my example above I did include a shot with ski goggles. Why don't we stick with solid reflective surfaces?

            Nice images entered already. Now spot the real (not reflected) item.

                  And my effort. Some crackers above though.

                  Just because cliches are cliches does not make them wrong. I do like walking in the rain.

                      Definitely some very creative shots. Judging is going to be really tough.

                        Hopefully there will be a lot more entries by the close to make judging even harder!

                            Ironically, one of this week's "Week in Pictures" from MSNBC involved a mirror image. Select Photo 6. It's good but you folks have come up with better ones!

                              Okay. Entries must be in my midnight tonight US East Coast time. I really have my work cut out for me and will enlist the help of my wife. You folks have really embraced the theme. Voting is going to be very tough.
