Cactus reflections

I took this photo last week at a friend's house, I love the shadows on the cactus and the reflections in the window, not to mention the autumnal colours outside!

  2. Don't hold it against me, but I once took a very large knife to a cactus plant. It was a gift from a boyfriend who dumped me!
    Should have seen the foreshadowing to a prickly relationship.

    Lovely image though (and I would never do that now).

  3. The reflection almost looks painted on the window. Very nice.

    This is strange, but every time I click your comment link my router resets. What's up with that?

  4. This is a really good one. It's almost as if the cactus is longing to go outside.

    This is the kind of reflection most of us miss. (Maybe I should just speak for myself here! LOL) And yet it makes such an interesting photo.

    The "real" cactus looks more like the shadow. Nicely done.

  19. Great things can be done with reflections and shadows. I love pictures reflected off water.

  20. Nice shot. The cactus seems to be waving at the leaves outside, or at himself!

  21. Perfect reflection and angle shot!

  22. This allows this cactus to feel like he is part of the outside world and therefore not feel lonely... :-)
    Nice.

  25. This photo works on may levels -- light study-shadow play, color contrasts, reflections -- and the contrast in flora types. Nicely captured.

  26. That is so creative I really like it. I do a lot of floral stills and this is a great idea to add to my stock!

  27. Great you took the time to notice the reflection! I probably would have walked right by wondering where I would see one.
