i honestly love it

schoo can tell you you picked a good color

the reflection is awesome. makes it more....

if i was cooking i would say it adds more depth to the flavor, so i guess it adds more dimension?


i just like it

I picked the yellow one because it was the best looking one of the bouquet...lol


I am getting another piece of plexiglass and painting one side gloss white, so I can do the same thing with a white background.


and thanks foxy! I am really enjoying taking pics now that I have a good camera.

Really nice picture, too bad the rose wasn't 100%


Next step is learning how to resize your photos


Well done though! I am a bit unsure if I like the composition or not, but I think it probably works best the way it is.

I can add an old tip as well.


If you're going for reflections like this, there are 3 ways to do it.


1. A mirror.

2. Glass with background (basically a mirror)

3. A reflective surface.


The advantage of a mirror, is that you'll get a very clear reflection. The same goes for the two others really. Now both 1 and 2 have one slight drawback. Since you're placing whatever you're taking a picture of, on the surface you're going to get two reflections, one on the surface of the glass, and one from the background you've got the glass on.


Most of the time those two reflections will be so close, you can't really tell them apart. (this is also why a thin mirror is better then a thick one)




The commonly percieved effect, is that the edges of the reflection is more blury then the object itself.


This is why it is better to use just a reflective surface, like a black, glossy tile.


Hope that was informative, if not helpful

I just meant that it isn't perfect, some spots on it.


No, my browser doesn't resize, by design
