Reflected Impressions

While strolling through Norwich on the early evening I encountered a nice shining motorbike (no clue what brand, I’m a aircraft type :-) anyway all the chrome at the bike was shining such a way the surrounding was reflected perfect. Took several images and decided to post this one for TL.

The picture was taken at the Queen street in Norwich near the gate to the rear side of the Cathedral.

PP work:
Shot in RAW, minor adjustment of brightness and contrast (less than 5%) cropped to square, rotated 90 degree CCW (you can see the photographer in the upper part of the headlight). Resized and converted to JPEG. Add frame and text, no sharpening.

Hi Hans;
great reflections
I like your colours and effects you acived
very good pp work
best regards Karolina

Hi Hans
Great shot. Great idea. I just wonder whether there is too much within the frame. I have done a workshop to simplify the image. I still like your original.
Mike

Great job on the reflections of chrome. The image shows a great mastery of proficiency. Only one regret, the presence of the car...

But this remains a very very beautiful image.

Best regards.

Hi, Hans!

Fantastic shot with excellent PP work! Perfect saturation and sharp.

TFS,

jazmin

HI HAns
At first I thought it was a knight's shining armour till I read your note.
Just how sharp can you get? The reflection is great.
Nice shooting

I like the way you captured yourself in this lamp, Hans, it sure takes some weight off of you ;o))
Nice reflection indeed, not only the houses but there's sort of a wide-angle view on the steering handle as well.

Beautiful abstract (:-]) capture.
Excellent sharpness and details.

Very artistic. Very moody. I like both the original and WS postings. The original because it is more complex and the WS because it is more simple. TFS. K2

I like it! Great sharp reflection in the chrome of the motorbike (I wish you knew what make ... I am a motorbike type! I love riding motorbike, I'm afraid of airplanes ... hows that for misplaced faith in machinery?

Rew

Very nicely done Hans, it is difficult to tell which way is up, but then I have that problem quite often;).
Well seen, a nice abstract the eye can roam around, TFS.

What a lot of silver... Such a brilliant image - I have no idea what silver part goes where on the bike here. And I think I can see you there as well Hansie.
Well done

Hoi Hans,

Een van de origineelste zelfportret die ik heb gezien aannemende dat jij rechts in spiegelbeeld staat. Mooi uitgevoerd en prachtig hoe alles scherp is. De eigenaar houdt van poetsen das wel duidelijk.
Leuke en originele inzending.

Groeten,

Edwin

Hi dear friend,
for an aircraft type, great work :)))
Amazing sharpness and vivid tones.
I love the distorted view.
Well seen Hans!
Best wishes,
Ioana

What a great capture Hans!
There are so many different shapes and colours reflected,and so clearly.
This is an excellent work of art.
Well seen and nicely taken.
Well done.
Steve

Superscherpe foto en ik vind het leukste dat je nog inmiskenbaar kan zien dat het in Engeland is.
Volgens mij heb jij het primaa naar je zin.
Fijne dag nog Hans(without drizzling rain)

Hi Hans

This one jumped out at me! Superb reflections with wonderful colour, lighting & contrast. An excellent abstract shot. Tfs!

Hello Hans,

This is an indication of the love by a man for his bike! It appears incredibly shiny!

I just love what you have done!
People can chieve such results using distort programmes in art packages but this is wonderful that you shot it like this.
Excellent sharpness, colours and composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Many thanks for your warm comments on 'Nodding in the sun'.

Hi Hans,

Impressive shot my friend. Very creative work, excellent lighting, colors and composition. Always something new, something different!

Réal.

Hi Hans,

Mooie reflecties!
Grappig. Moest lang zoeken om jou te vinden in de reflecties. :-)

Groet, Dennis

Hi Hans, A creative piece of photography. The buildings reflected still have plenty of detail visible to make it less messy that it could have been. Good PP to make this a professional image. TFS. Murray.

Glim en glans vs ....niet glim en glans. Super combinatie!
Ook leuk dat je precies in het bovenste stukje past;-) Heel mooi kleurenspel en interesant om naar te kijken.
Goed gedaan!
