Hi all,
Newbie here :o - would you be so kind as to take a look at the following three photos and let me know what you think? Target subject is 'Reflection' and I have three very different photos but cannot decide which expresses the subject the most.

Best regards,
Jon

#2 no doubt.

The bubble is cool, but it really needs a different background.

The second one is the only one that someone would say 'look at the reflection' where the last has none (unless you are specifically looking for it) and the first has reflection of some light but not something you would say 'oh look, reflection'

If I was shooting for reflections I would look at mirrors and objects in them. If you want the salt/pepper shakers then maybe see how it would look in front of a mirror...

If it must be one of the three... then number 2

Cheers,
Peter

    Number 2 for the win.

    The orange colour cast is killer though, if you could take the trouble to tone it down in photoshop (not sure if there would be anything left if you took away the orange though) or better yet, go black and white it would help a ton

    My vote is for #2 too. The bubble one would look better with a different background, and without the shadow that looks like a giant piece of sensor dirt!
