Love the predominance of strong red and of course great image and great legs (not necessarily in that order) ;-)

Oh, baby, you don't know the half of what these legs can do! LMAO! I just couldn't resist that line. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I appreciate it, Ann.

Love it Lonnit! You do great things with your legs! ;) Ann

On behalf of my legs, thank you, gentlemen. :)

Turning the room took a massive feat of engineering, as it is a 6 story building! LOL! Actually, I took the cheaper route and simply sat on the edge of the bed and put my feet up on a make-shift ottoman (wash basket with a flattened cardboard air conditioner box on top, covered with a bedsheet). You can see me sitting in the reflection. It was very difficult, as I was leaning way back, trying to keep my body out of the mirror - my abs were killing me! LOL! I thought the feet position and all the elements came together best here, even though I am visibly sitting in the reflection. If you cock your head over to the left, you will see that the picture was simply rotated 90 degrees.

No red sports car - the cops like to chase red sports cars too much! LOL! I do drive an Infiniti M35 though, which is a fantastic machine. I love the way it handles - it's soooo responsive and powerful, yet it's luxurious.

Certainly a different perspective, interesting and 'how did you manage to turn the room around'?.... which reminds me of that old Irish joke... " how many Irishmen does it take to change a light bulb...?".... one to hold the light bulb and a bunch to turn..... etc etc!

Do you drive a RED sports car Lonnit?.. just interested?

Actually, I'm thankful that you included the reflection.... I could actually work out how you did this... lol (.. and I'm not Irish!)

And... last but definitely not least... lovely legs ;-)

Don't like the quads? Funny, because that was something that I thought gave the legs more interest - as if walking on air wasn't interesting enough! LOL!

As for hiding the reflection - not a chance. I tried a thousand angles on this and it just wasn't possible, given the space and layout of the room.

The table isn't normally there; it was placed there for the image, which was inspired by another image. :) ~ Lonnit

Well, this one gets your attention! Would you consider removing that table and lamp and shooting this again (hiding your reflection in the space between the two mirrors)?

Nice sense of humor and an interesting image to look into. The quads in extension don't help the look, but your reflection in the mirror more than makes up for what initially might be thought of as a Photoshop exercise. But honestly, the thing that got me staring at this in the first place was the placement of the table in front of a door that swings into the room. Well done Lonnit! - Kelly
