This shot has so much potential. All it needs is a tweak or two in the lighting and levels. Your colors are a little flat (levels) and the overall effect is flat (no depth front to back) which is a lighting issue...

know whats weird here? The lighting in the reflection is better than the original.

As a Pooh fan, I thought the idea was cute, but the glare from the mirrors distract slightly.

I like your idea, but I think if you had different sub matter and different background and cleaned the glass it would work so much better

I like the use if the mirrors to create the illusion but the light at the top is bit to bright and distracts.

Well done for getting this sharp throughout, but I feel that the surface that Pooh is sitting on is a little distracting.

great reflection illusion. a quick polish of the mirror would help reduce some of the distracting halo effect.
I like the thought process here and this is a well set up shot.

I think the flower fabric is pretty distracting here

While this is unarguably an illusion, I don't find it to be a very attractive one (the subject, the floral bottom, the frame of the mirror all detract IMO). This might have been better shot with a nice solid background and with the surface the item was on level and flush with the mirror, so you don't get that wooden line through there at a crooked angle

good job creating the mirror image, better focus and lightning would have made this better and maybe a solid background

reflection but not illusion

pooh? Did you try the light at different angles? Theres a little glare from this side...

I thought about doing something similar... I just feel it could use more punch though!!!

i tried to make a shot like this with a bear i bought for my girlfriend. the effect wasn't really all that great after i had taken it. so i guess im biased, purely on my account, as to this shot as well.

lighting poor

The harsh light from the top is a bit distracting. A cleaner mirror too perhaps?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool shot. Like the colors, but the OOF and dirty mirrors are a distraction.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That is a cool idea. I remember when I was a kid trying to look and see how far back I could see, or how many reflections I could count in a mirror setup like this. The mirror looks a little dirty, The environment/table cloth/bed comforter or something could have been different. I don't know what. Maybe outside some where with a clean mirror. Something.

First Impression: Many Pooh Bears make for fun Image! The reflected light on the top is a bit distracting, and the mirrors could be cleaner, but still very nice!

Cool effect, I like the color.

I just love Pooh. He kind of clashes with the blue flowered background, though. Nice mirrored illusion, however, it might have been good to clean the mirror before your shoot.
