Photographer’s Note

There is nothing better on a warm summers day by the sea than to listen to a band. This was the Horsham British Legion band who played to an appreciative audience.

I'm often intrigued by reflections, and while I concentrated on those in the bell of the instrument i totally missed the distorted reflections of the bandsmans face and uniform.

Hi Roberto,
I didn't understand the title...i couldn't understand how the reflection was written forward...but it's a reflected reflection...pheew!!
This is really clever..you have a very sharp eye.
Your shot also has quite a psychedelic feel with the swirling colours.

Nice work,
Regards, David

Interesting to see those words floating in there, Roberto, as though they were part of the music emerging from the bell of the horn. These days, it's so common to see digital words rolling across screens, we almost don't even stop to wonder about them. Nice colors, clarity and a strong composition to this one. Best, -Hugh

I really like your cropping here Roberto - the bit that you missed in terms of reflections is a corker - I didn't clock it either on my first reading of the image - what I like apart from the strength of the colour and the reflections is the triangle between hand - face/mouth and bell of the instrument - the way those three elements combine to make a two dimensional image produce sound! Really nice picture and very well cropped to the square format.

best wishes Kev

Ciao Roberto,
reflexes on the musical instrument are always charmed, some strange forms create as in this photo. perfect in the colours and the light.
nice work
Have a nice week end

Good catch, Roberto!
Fantastic reflections and 'reflected' reflections (!) in this well composed shot. I like the crop very much which work well. The title is of course very fitting. Good work! Casper

Hi Roberto!
Superbly chosen f-stop to have almost the whole instrument
in a perfect focus. I also like the amount of space dedicated
to the outer part of the bell. Excellent white balance
and a perfect exposure are among the strongest parts of
this shot.
I've always admired Olympus for producing wonderful natural colours.
