My Head But Not My Body Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just one of those fleeting moments - I was attracted by her face just appearing through the reflection in the window amongst all those other windows when a boy walked past and just for a moment her head rested on his body - although in a different looking glass world...........dedicated to my dear friend Hobbitka Sasa!

Best regards. Grazyna.

Really creative composition. Excellently spotted and wonderfully executed shot. Monochrome suits here.

Hi Kevin,
strange picture. Once again, you're pushing me in uncharted terrain.
Best wishes
Marc

Bizarre. She seems to be passing through one of those spacial vortices -- like on Star Trek. Where an invisible barrier becomes visible by the distortion of the figure pushing through it. And because the body seems young, but her face seems old, you can imagine a figure passing through time as well. But beyond that, you have the small figure looking up, like a reflection or a spectator or some kind of avatar in this sci-fi process. And then, what really makes it is the crosswalk sign, with that figure passing from one side to the other. And all those windows, with their shutters open, awaiting other transformations. Great one, Kev. Best, -Hugh

Hello Kev.
Freakish fluky shot, that looks great and is intriguing. Apart from the weird apparition, as it were, the photo contains the interesting patterns of reflected windows, and words and coffee cup. Great b/w finish.
Regards,
Andrew

:-)))
and hobbitka sasa didn't even notice this earlier! That absentminded one! Probably her head was replaced by another hobbit's... ;-)
A very nice bw work Gandalf, inventive and funny. It reminds me to upload one in a similar vein, one I took last spring or summer... seems so long ago.
Thanks Kev!
