Friday, November 30: The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Reflections.
This challenge is about using reflections in the composition of a shot. Reflections are all around us, whether they’re in a window, a puddle, a mirror, or another surface. They can dramatically affect the feeling and mood of a shot by creating a surreal sense of duality. Think of a city reflecting in a river, a crowd of people reflecting in the glass pane of a building, or a landscape altered by the placement of a simple glass mirror.
I challenge you to head out and create an image that uses reflections to force the viewer to question and interpret the reality of the shot.
Here are my images of reflections.

The Wadi looks so cool and inviting!
Gilly, those wadis are very cool and inviting. The perfect escape from the heat in Oman.
What a great collection of photos.
Thanks, Rosie!
Excellent set of reflections. Love the first photo. Such a beautiful place.
Thank you, Gracie. And thank you for visiting.
Great series of reflections, Cathy! The third one in particular really meets the challenge.
Thanks, Robin! That mosque was gorgeous!

Love reflections and your choices are great!
Thanks, Carol.
Wonderful selection for the theme, Cathy. I especially love the white mosque one, and the second one of the window. Stunning shots.
Thanks, Sylvia. Glad you like them.
You make me miss the Gulf so much its almost unbearable!
Wow! Thanks so much! You should come back to visit and make a stop in Nizwa.
I can almost see faces in that first reflection, Cath. It’s one of those, “if you look at this carefully you can see …” type shots.
I went back to look at it, Jo, and I see what you mean. Interesting.
