In the Mirror Photo

Photographer’s Note

My friend (on the left) and me (right) reflected in the mirror in one of the Cracow clubs called Bledne Kolo (meaning Vicious Circle).

Honestly I think the display of the pic might have been better - IMHO it would be better if I was whole visible in the mirror (not just a part of me) or weren't there at all. Unfortunatelly I put the camera on the table next to us and was totally sure that both of us would be in the picture (I checked that a few times;)). Well... didn't work, but I still quite like it:).

Every thing can be improved... as you also tell, but in this case the result is however good.
Perhaps I would have opted to another posture since you could choose it but however compliments.

Not a very TE-picture but it's just fun, isn't it ? And it's some artistic too:-))

I like this image, especially the impromptu and candid appearance of it. I think the partial view of (you) the person to the right of the frame adds drama, mystery. The red hued overtones heap more drama, a sense of impending danger, perhaps.

The candle burning on the table, to the left of the frame, which is reflected in the mirror, gives a vital clue, yet deepens the sense of mystery further.

Photographically very good. Very interesting and engaging.

Unfortunately, not TE material.

The different tones of red and how they play with the shadows and blacks are very engaging. I also like the ghostly reflection of the candle on the table. As far as the mirror goes, I would have not known there was a mirror if you didn't tell me. To me, it looks like I am sitting at the table looking at the two of you through a doorway. The only critique I guess I would have, is to not have told us about the mirror : )

Some say it's not a TE photo, I can see their point, but it definitely gives us a peek into another part of the world we may never see and it puts us there with you. The photo is of a moment in time that is spontaneous, raw and will never happen again, at least not in same way. These are the moments we live for.

Cheers,

Michael
