Another one from the unusual town of Vrsac, but no old winows. Taken one morning at this cute little bakery where my friends and me went for breakfast.
I spotted these decorations hanging from the ceiling, and it made me think of JP's fav kind of shots - reflected self-portraits.
So, you can see the bakery interior reflected in the larger sphere, the blurry mess in the centre is me, and figures on the left are my friends, having breakfast and pretending they don't know me lol. I don't blame them though.

PP: converting to B&W, filter 'cool ice' from Nik colour Pro set, reducing noise, darkening the corners a bit, framing, resizing.

Hi Marija,
I'm always suprised by your creativity ... A beautiful graphic photo, reflection also ... and I like this blue...
Thanks!

Fred : )

Very cool composition and PP. Hope they didn't kick you out from the bakery afterwards. :) You seem to have tried to erase something on the ceiling that looks a little noticable. Also, the grid on the pipe breaks the lines. Maybe you could try to prolong the pipe there? That's all for my random thoughts. :)

Have a good afternoon.

I like the tone of 'cool ice'! Its a cold but not unfriendly tone of blue.. I like its metallic like effect! Like here the pipe (which could be distracting in any other case) looks cool with this colour! Composition is A+ again!! Wellll done, Marija! :)
cheers
ToM

hahah. You know what's funny? This one really caught me eye before I realized it was yours and before I realized it was a reflected self portrait. ;)

I love the lighting and tilt. The blue colors are very cool too. Composition is great and reflection has some nice details. Wish I could see you a little better but still the shot is very cool!

You'll probably get twice as many points just for using my name in the title. ;P

marija,
great idea,I also liked the bluish tones.nice graphics,really a creative approach.
I might give a try by eradicating the cables as giving the feeling the reflection coming from a grat mirror ball thrown up:-)
regards

very cool shot Maria :)
i like the tilt here, it givs room for the second spere
would hav been perfect if the pipe was not there, but i don't mind it that much
the reflection is very cool
good work

I love the pipe! Very technographic.
I love the tilt, allowing two globes and some drama and lots of lovely diagonals.
I don't like the fact that we can't see you clearly!!!
Nice cool blue - from where?
Manila Jury - what do you all think? ....
9/10 with the loss of one mark for a 'blurry mess'.

Bon matin Marija. ;o)

It is very well executed (i.e. diagonal line cut by the "pipe", nice cold blue tones) the only point of interest here would have been to see you more clearly in the sphere.

You deserve the 2 points for a job well done, but It doesn't excite me as much as your other work.

Very nicely composed, Marija, and it is fun to see the bakery in the reflecting ball. Nice treatment giving it a total chrome feel. Well done!

Sorry, my bag is empty so you won't be able to continue to accumulate the points because you use JP's name in your title!!!!

Very nice image, Marija! I know there is a reflection, but what attracts me most is the geometrical aspect of your composition, and the overall blue tone. It would be perfect if it were not for the partial square (ventilation outlet) at the bottom of the shot, but I guess it was hard to avoid. Good work!

Très fort, Marija !!!
