Title: "Displaced, truncated oval reflection"
(click to view larger)
It was late afternoon, and I was talking to a friend all the while noticing some beautiful shadows on the brick walk. They looked interesting as a subject for today's image, but by the time our far-ranging and very interesting conversation was at an end, the shadows had moved on. And then I saw this wonderfully vivid reflection of a glass table top against the fence. As one door closes.....another opens as they say, although the key is to be receptive to the new opportunities. I love the quality of the reflected light and the interrupted oval shape, even though the table top is round. So while this is a "straight, unmanipulated" image that fulfills the creed of some photographers that an image should show the "truth", none the less, the reflection itself is a distortion of the subject viewed indirectly.

And what a wonderful distortion it is - it gives the impression of three alternate versions of reality.
