Merry Christmas 2011! (Weekend Reflections # 118)

Florence, Italy 

This is a slightly distorted reflection of Vicki and me in a Christmas decoration in the window display of the Salvatore Ferragamo store in Florence, Italy. There's a larger reflection of me in this picture too. The Christmas Tree is from Picnik.

I've tried capturing a reflection in a bauble and never really succeeded so I'm quite envious of this shot.

Don't you love round reflections? It is fun to see things all distorted. Nice add with the picnik tree.
Happy Christmas James.

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to get some really good reflections. So I used one from early fall. The bird gives off a ever so slight reflection in the shallow water.

I like the tree, how did you do it?

Merry Christmas, and thanks for an enjoyable year.

Beautiful festive shot! Always interesting to look for the reflection of the photographer in these types of "self-portraits"!

What a great trip you've had. Love the reflection. I've been busy taking care of my hubs, and haven't had any photo reflections for a long time. Glad to be linking up, again.
