The mirror effect, a photo from Aichi, Chubu

Photographer's Note

I went to a very beautiful garden yesterday and I had to get on board a fairly large vessel to reach it, it was designed byt he top designers in the Garden industry and it was beautiful, I am giving you a glimpse of what is to come from the 20 Gardens they had to offer

The garden is called the Blue Bonnet, the colours of the whole place was wonderful.

I came across this wonderful object, it had metal leaves and also it had music playing off when some one was near it, so what you are looking at is just part of the futuristic plant.

The mirrors you can see were circular and in diferent angles, I just caught a bit of everything, you can see some flowers on the top right.

It was a wonderful day and all the birds were flying south that day, I must have seen over a 1000 birds flying in different groups

I hope you like it

Creative shot, Daniel! Perhaps a higher dof, or more contrast would be more effective? Definitely worth exploring the possibilities. Ilike the hexagonally arranged mirrors, each with a different pov. Well done!

Yes, I agree, a very creative shot. Clever to get the focus about right on such a range of focal lenghts.

Very creative piece, Dan. The "metal leaves" of the object afford some great reflections, that add up to a uniquely interesting puzzle of different objects to be seen within a single frame. Good job getting the exposure and sharpness spot-on for everything. Good stuff.

Very special and different shot you present for us here Dan - I like that puzzle of different motifs put together of the mirrors - thanks.

A very clever shot, Daniel. Nearly every mirror shows a different picture. I especially like the texture of the two bottom mirrors on the right. Well seen.

Hi Daniel
Sure a very special shot this one. As the eyes scan around you almost get kind of dizzy. Great effect and lots of details. Very good.

The eyes can't stop and find a rest, the re is a continuous search for a fixed point. Maybe a greater DOF would make the picture more intelligible, but it works well in this way too.
