Get the Balance Right (Weekend Reflections # 125)

Florence, Italy

This is a window display at the Louis Vuitton store in Florence, Italy. Look at the gold ball. Can you see me? I'm there but my reflection is tiny. Maybe you can see the building that's behind me. It's the same building that's reflected at normal size further up in the photo.

    James I bow down in honor of your amazing reflectioness! This is magnificent. The display in the window is amazing in itself and then to add your reflections to it takes this over the top. You better print and frame this one! Well seen and captured. Happy weekend my friend. Maestro.

    Fabulous photo, James. It can't be that you're always in the right place at the right time, it must be your great eye for a good shot. Or a combination of both.

    Only you could find two reflections in the same shot and have them be different images. It's like a sixth sense for you, isn't it. Both fascinating.

  59. OwenFebruary 12, 2012 at 5:47 PM

    A double reflection ! Excellent. If you had brought a large mirror with you, you could have set it facing the window and the gold ball, and created a reflecting refection to infinity between them... In any case, great fun, though I wonder what is in the bag that makes it heavier than two elephants ???
