Black & White Sunday: Mirror Image

fusine_monochrome_potpis_zoomed in

This Sunday you are invited to post a mirror image for Black and White photo challenge. I chose a landscape photo for this occasion, but you can do as my friend  Lignum Draco did and post a photo of a human reflection, or landscape with a human figure in it, or you will, as I hope, come up with something entirely different.

Whatever you have to offer for this challenge, make sure to link to this post and I’ll be happy to display it bellow.

P.S. Next Sunday there won’t be a challenge here, and the same goes for the forthcoming Thursday because I will be away in Portugal. See you again on 20 May. For the list of further themes, challenges and guest posts please see the Scheduled Challenges page.

    Are you sure this isn’t upside down? Your reflection looks more solid than the landscape, especially the clouds. An amazing shot, and a lovely double hourglass-on-its-side curve.

    Such a versatile subject. Thank you for taking your time off at the same time as I do, Paula. 🙂 I dislike missing photo challenges JUST because I am away. 🙂
    So have a nice trip and see you in 2 weeks. Sretan put.

      Yes, that is a very fortunate coincidence. Your entry is like a fantasy illustration; so very mysterious- needless to say – I love it!! Enjoy your time off Klara, and stay safe. I’ll see you in two weeks. (I’m planning to look for that anchor owl in Lisbon that I saw on your photo). If I see it, I’ll give it a pat for you 😀

    Late to the party as usual but here is one I actually had to think differently about. I love your capture and I love to take reflections off or on water but you captured it so well I decide to look elsewhere.Mirrors and windows were are ready covered so I thought what reflects within my sphere? That is how I got this one.

    Have a great time traveling and be safe Paula ~ John
