Reflections of my Sister

[cherubb2]

I took pictures of sisters that were both seniors and put this together for them.... One sister looking at her sister's reflection...







Take a picture of each person to get their relection.

Layer the main picture and put the reflection picture inbetween the layers..then erase to uncover the reflection. I think the reflection could be a little brighter or is it good like it is?

Very creative, I am going to have to try that with my grandkids!

If you could make the reflected sisters face a bit brighter it would be good. In photoshop I would make a dup layer and change the blending mode to screen, then place a mask to hide the layer and with a low opacity brush see how it looks to lighten her face a little, I think the rest of her is ok, but the face is the most important.

I agree-very creative!!! I think the reflection picture is somewhat grainy-esp. her face. I really like Miss Mae's ideas too. Great photos!!

Neat, good going

Now why did you make the outside layer black and white? i m just curious to that becase it kinda ruins the mood a bit,would rather have seen that in colors

Alex...I don't know why I made the first image b&w just trying something different I guess....thanks for the suggestion

Hvae you tried the B&W vice versa? i think taht would work better, i really dont knw

Nice idea. I like this and 'reflection of myself' Very contemplative. Kinda makes you stop and think for a minute.

I agree with the others, should try to make the reflection b&w and the real person in color.

hmm i dont know..
it could look like an effect from the glass type rather than an artistic impression.
