The OOF reflection makes this shot special.

no problem, Lydia. I changed the caption to reflect that (pun intended) Markjay

Oops. I only saw the word "wall" and not the word "mirror". I'm sorry.

It fits the challenge perfectly, MaryJay. ~Lydia

Ahem.. Lydia, did you read the caption under the image? There's no wall, there's a mirror there. I would not post an image that has a wall behind it and call it a mirror :-)

Let me explain:
I am approx. 10 or 12 feet away from my stained glass lamp and there's a floor to ceiling wall mirror behind the lamp which sits over my dinning room table. At 140 mm focal length, the mirrored reflection appears naturally blurred because the focus is on the lamp, not on the reflection in the mirror. I guess if I did not turn off all the other room lighting and turn down the levels on the photo, you might have seen the other things reflecting along with the lamp. :-)

But now that I see it's not as obvious to others, I think I'll go back to the drawing board and replace this photo with something more obvious :-) Markjay

It's beautiful, but I don't think it's reflecting, but actually making a colored shadow by the light going through the colored glass and landing on the wall behind. Right? ~Lydia
