I just came back from Lisbon where I spent a nice week-end. A city I love and already know pretty well but any time I am there, it is as if it was the first time ...
My favourite district is "Bairro Alto", the best place for night life.

Last saturday as every week-end, the streets were full of people, the bars were wide open with music everywhere. In one of these amazing and trendy bars, I found an opportunity of a reflected self-portrait, one more ...

Le poids de la réflexion c’est «le livre de l’intranquilité» de l’homonyme Fernando Pessoa …
Welcome home Sylvie et obridado por su foto retrato

superb rich tones, great comp, (*_*)

Il y a une belle illusion d'optique dans ta photo puisque j'ai l'impresion de regarder à travers une vitre, et non pas dans un miroir. Les couleurs chaudes sont aussi très belles. Bravo pour cette trouvaille!

Salut Sylvie,

Excellente cette idée! En plus tu as choisi un bel objet: daté, localisé (c'est écrit en portugais) et baignant dans une belle couleur orange/rouge.
J'adore! L'une des meilleures photos de toute la série!

Marc.

Hi Sylvie,
Nice shot! Nice composition. And the exposure, is very nice, too...the colors are so dark and moody...mysterious, like your weight since you didn't step on the scale. ;P
Well seen!
Richard

Bonjour Sylve.
De bien belles couleurs et l'appareil que j'aperçois est bien beau, il fait le clic au bon moment et le clac nous donne toujours une belle photo. Elle est excellente, j'aimerai être à la place du clic clac pour voyager avec le talent.
Mes amitiés ma reine

I see you found a great unique reflective surface Sylvie. Great shot with nice warm tones. Well spotted. I think I'm obsessed lately looking for shiny stuff for your new theme. I posted another shot today.

Ah, those scales used to be everywhere... Now everything is digital, but I am glad that these older ones can also be used in interesting new ways.
Cool work.

Ana

Hahah:-) great title:-))))

Seems that you find a way to see reflexions everywhere. This one is funny and great!

Une autre très belle contribution à ton défi, Sylvie! Tu es passé maître dans l'art de faire ce genre de photo.

J'aime beaucoup les couleurs riches du fond qui complémentent bien les couleurs de la balance (ou pèse-personne). La reflection de ce qui se trouve derrière toi et aussi très bonne. Tu est très sérieuse dans cet auto-portrait - trop concentré à réussir ta photo, possiblement. Bravo!

Very mysterious with the camera in front of your eyes ;))
Nicely done Sylvie. I like the old scale reminds me of my own country. Lights are great, not too dark, but just enough to give a special mood.
well done!!!


take care, Stef

And here's a smilefor you :)))

cette photo de par ces couleurs et du plan me fait énormément penser à Delicatessen de Caro & Jeunet... Encore bien joué! :) Keep on girl!

Beautiful Sylvie...how you done this in the challenge reflected self-portraits...my compliments ;-)

I lost this nice pic Sylvie,it's very original and amazing,it makes me think to you as an hunter in the city,as well as me in my places,looking to all that capture my interst and trying to fix them with camera.It's a continuing research and surprises that fills the mind of anyone kind of images,it's a need for...?In this serie I like very much your reflected image,maybe this one is the best for me.
Tres bon pic,cher
Take care
Edie

Ah, there it is! A photo with reflection where you don't have supernatual powers of being invisible ;)
Nice one! The old 'analogue' weights remind me of Armenia...

Cheers,
Nune

Antonio Pessoa! Ce n'etait pas un ecrivain?

Bien vu.

Amicalement Steph.
