I always like these kind of shots taken from a different perspective. The wet ground almost looks like it's been polished. The colours in this image bordered by the black sky and dark wet road really make this image shine.

Sorry didn't realise this shot was taken underground and the cobblestones are in fact polished. Don't mind me I'm an idiot. Great shot!

Why so small, makes it very hard to vote.

A little too dark IMO.

I think the shelving on the right makes the image a little cluttered. The whole image just seems a little out of focus and not bokeh.

My first impression of this was that it was a little too dark but the more I look at it the more it appeals to me. I particularly like the way the lighting falls on the fae of the model. Worthy of a 7 IMO

Good example of bokeh as I understand it. A little more of the bird would IMO have made it even better.

artvetVery underscored IMO! Well executed! Probably people didn't like the softens.

Thanks Arter,

I did play around with the image after the challenge began and found a couple of areas I could have improved on especially sharpness.

I was hoping to score a little higher with this but realised I would lose some votes due to not having a real mirror in the image, picky picky! To be honest though I did consider putting a small mirror in the foreground but had problems with composing the image the way I wanted, it just spoiled the overall effect.

Thanks everyone for their votes and comments

Sorry but I find this quite boring. There is no subject to focus on, the blurriness on thr right of the picture is distracting and the colours are bland. Would have been a nice idea but maybe I'm a little jaded after looking at so many other rear view mirrors.
