Reflections
Through this photo prompt, I learned that different reflective surfaces can completely change an image. Mirrors can create optical confusion and repeated patterns. I also learned that imperfect reflective surfaces can distort an image and make an ordinary place look more interesting.

I used a car window to experiment with layered reflection. I think this was cool because the window shows both the reflected environment and what is behind the glass.

For this photo, I used a mirror to create a straightforward reflection. I liked how the bright red flowers became the main focus of the image.

I placed a mirror around the plants to experiment with reflecting nature. I found it interesting how the straight edges of the mirror contrast with the natural shapes of the plants.

I used the shiny gym floor as an imperfect reflective surface. I liked how the reflection distorted the image and almost made it look upside down.

For this photo, I experimented with a mirror against the colourful mosaic. I found the mirror creates an illusion between the shapes.
